Yashasvi Jaiswal was always earmarked for big things. Since his u-19 days, Jaiswal composure and talent made him stand out from his peers. He gave enough proof of his talent in domestic cricket and the IPL for him to be selected for the Test series against West Indies. And the 21-year-old took only one innings to prove that the faith shown in him by the team management was not unfounded. Opening the innings in the first Test in Dominica, Jaiswal slammed his maiden ton in 215 balls.
At 21 years, 197 days Jaiswal is the fourth youngest debut Test centurion for India. He is also the third Indian opener after Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan to slam a ton on debut. Also, he and fellow opener Rohit Sharma broke the record of the highest opening stand by an Indian pair against West Indies when their stand went past the score of 201. Virender Sehwag and Wasim Jaffer had scored 201 in a Test in Mumbai.
