**Galle, Sri Lanka** – Josh Inglis etched his name into Australian cricket history with a sensational century on his Test debut, powering Australia to dominance over Sri Lanka in the first Test at Galle International Stadium. The wicketkeeper-batsman blazed to a remarkable 102 off just 90 balls, a performance that left his emotional parents in the stands cheering wildly.
Inglis’s whirlwind innings included a boundary off his very first ball, setting the tone for a stunning display. He later described the experience as “special,” admitting that the magnitude of the achievement hadn’t fully sunk in. The quickfire century was made even more poignant by the presence of his parents, Martin and Sarah, who made a last-minute trip to witness their son’s remarkable feat. Video footage captured the raw emotion of his father, Martin, as he watched his son achieve his dream.
“It’s always nice to have your family around,” Inglis said in a post-match interview. “For mum and dad to make the trip at the last minute, extra special. The average might probably go downhill from here, but special to get a hundred on debut so I am pretty happy.”
Inglis’s performance was a key factor in Australia’s commanding position in the match, showcasing the team’s overall dominance on day two of the first Test. His memorable debut has already cemented his place in Australian cricketing lore.
