Yashasvi Jaiswal made his debut during the first ongoing test against West Indies and played a brilliant knock of unbeaten 40 till the stumps on day 1, managing to provide a solid start with Rohit Sharma.
India’s young left-handed opener became the 17th player from the country to score a Test hundred on his debut after he reached the three-figure mark on day 2 of the ongoing test against West Indies.
Jaiswal, who started the day with 40, continued to play with his elegant-styled cricketing shots. He played the shots very confidently and positively throughout the different sessions. He had his plans ready, he accelerated super quickly as he arrived at the crease after the lunch break.
The opener completed his debut hundred during the 70th over when the opening partnership with Rohit Sharma had crossed the mark of 200. This is the highest run partnership for the 1st wicket against the West Indies in Test cricket as the young boy Jaiswal also became the first Indian opener to score a Test ton on debut outside of his home conditions.
Jaiswal, though, is only the seventh Indian batter and the first in 13 years to score a Test hundred on debut away from home. Suresh Raina, who made 120 against Sri Lanka in 2010, is the last Indian batter to score a Test ton on debut outside India.
Jaiswal had played only 15 first-class games in his career before this Test, but averages over 80 in those with nine hundreds, including a stunning 265 in the second innings of the Duleep Trophy Final last year.
Yashasvi Jaiswal: The Rising Super-Star
Jaiswal has been in terrific form this year. With an opportunity in his hand to perform as an opener, he has been marking his solid commitment to the game and also making sure to get a spot fixed as an opener in Indian Test Cricket. He was in flawless form throughout the IPL and after this dream debut with a maiden test century on his first Test, it is very sure that this 21-year-old young boy has marked his presence in his own style. After making his ton, Jaiswal hugged his captain and started celebrating his hundred in his style, also bringing a smile to Rohit’s face. With this kind of body language and positive shot selection style, he is made for this format, and with this kind of performance, the time is no longer when he will be delivering the best for his country in different conditions.
