Who would have thought — that out of all the batters, Yastika Bhatia would become the first ever Test centurion in a women’s Test, at Lord’s. But the 25-year-old battled out for 145 deliveries on day 3 of the India-England Test, to notch her maiden Test ton, at the iconic venue. Throughout her innings, she looked calm and composed, hit 13 boundaries in her innings, to bring up her 100, that she would remember for a very long time.
Coincidentally, this happens to be Yastika Bhatia’s first-ever international ton across formats for India. And this has come at a time, when her place in the side was being questioned, after a poor Women’s T20 World Cup 2026. She batted confidently, without any hiccups, and is now the 11th Indian woman batter to get a Test 100.
She joins the elite group of players like — Shanta Rangaswamy, Sandhya Agarwal, Shubhangi Kulkarni, Anju Jain, Hemlata Kala, Mithali Raj, Thirush Kamini, Punam Raut, Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, to score a Test ton for India. Out of these Sandhya has four to her name — the most by any Indian.
