India effortlessly dominated the Caribbean team in the opening Test of their two-match series, establishing themselves as the leading force. Following a strong start on Day 1, the Indian opening duo, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, continued their exceptional performance on the following day.
Jaiswal, making his Test debut, left an indelible mark by displaying remarkable skills and etching his name into the annals of history.
In the 70th over, facing Alick Athanaze, Jaiswal achieved a momentous feat by smashing a century on his very first ball, elegantly sweeping it towards square leg for a single. Celebrating this remarkable milestone, he joined an elite club as the third Indian opener to score a Test century on debut.
Yet, this was not his only record on that single stroke, as he also became the first Indian batsman to achieve a Test hundred on foreign soil in his maiden red-ball appearance.
यशस्वी भवः 💯
