First Woman to Score a Test Century at Lord’s: How Yastika Bhatia Redefined Women’s Cricket History
Yastika Bhatia made history on July 12 as the first woman to score a Test century at Lord’s. The 26-year-old Indian left-hander’s unbeaten 91 on Saturday set the stage before she reached the milestone in the one-off Test against England. Her masterclass innings of 178 balls and 12 boundaries helped India extend their lead past 400 runs, inspiring a generation of young female cricketers and pushing women’s Test cricket into the mainstream.
