According to major media reports, Jacob Bethell scored a sensational century against India in Mumbai on Thursday. The 22-year-old cricketer scored 105 runs from 48 balls in the match. However, his century came in a losing cause, and he was run out in the final over of the match.
The final result of the match has not been confirmed. At the start of September, Bethell did not have a century in any form of professional cricket, but he now has three centuries at international level - one in each format (Test, ODI, and T20). He is the youngest Englishman to score centuries in all three formats, joining Harry Brook, Dawid Malan, and Jos Buttler as the only Englishmen to achieve this feat.
Me and Brooky were joking about who was going to be the first to get all three between us.
Bethell's first Test hundred came in the fifth Ashes Test, where he scored 154 runs over six hours. Before his Test debut in New Zealand in 2024, he had played only 20 first-class matches. Bethell left home in Barbados as a teenager to pursue cricket in England and was signed by a major T20 franchise before securing his international place, though the specific franchise has not been identified.
