Yashasvi Jaiswal created history on his first Test debut for India

For the rest of his life, Yashasvi Jaiswal will recall Day 2 of India vs. West Indies first Test in Dominica since it marked his dazzling entry into the record books with a stunning century in his first Test match. His excitement after making his first 100 runs in a white jersey perfectly encapsulated his triumph. In the 70th over, Jaiswal faced off-spinner Alick Athanaze, whom he sent with a bit shorter ball towards the long leg while swiftly moving towards the non-striker's end, where Rohit Sharma also started his run. Jaiswal sprinted for that one run with full passion, as he created a history that will boost India’s confidence for the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2023. 

Yashasvi took off his helmet and jumped into the air, shouting thunderous cheers as soon as he finished that one run, which meant a lot to him, to secure his first century in Test cricket. He respectfully acknowledged the Indian dressing room with a bow as part of his customary celebration and was greeted with cheers, claps, and exultations. He even went to the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, who was his opening partner and shared a big smile and a heartwarming tap from the mentor, who also scored 103 runs on day 2 of the India vs West Indies match.

Delighted for young Yashasvi Jaiswal. He has shown again that he can bat in different gears. A hundred on debut used to be a rare occurrence and for a long time, was a poisoned chalice. He has it in him to score many even as more difficult challenges lie in wait
