One-off Test: Yastika Bhatia Creates History, Becomes First Woman To Score Test Century At Lord’s
Anterior Cruciate Ligament: India wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia scripted history on Sunday by becoming the first woman cricketer to score a Test century at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. The landmark achievement came on day three of India’s ongoing one-off Test match against England.
Yastika showed immense grit and elegance in stroke-play to reach her maiden international century off 145 balls, a knock studded with 12 boundaries. The Baroda-born cricketer, who overcame a career-threatening Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury and marked her return to international cricket on the ongoing trip to England, reached the milestone in style during the afternoon session.
Having gone into the lunch break on 91, Yastika showed no signs of nervous nineties when the post-lunch session resumed. She smashed consecutive boundaries off England pacer Issy Wong through the backward point region before taking a single to cover to seal her place on the hallowed Honours Board at Lord's.
