Yashaswi Jaiswal makes memorable debut for India in West Indies: a century on his first outing!

21 YEAR OLD Yashaswi Jaiswal had a dream debut for the Indian national team today, scoring a century on his very first innings.

After hosts West Indies were all out for just 150 in their first innings, India came out to bat with Rohit Sharma being accompanied by the young debutant.

The two began playing in a steady fashion and and stuck in the crease for the rest of the day, and continued with their good form in the second day.

Soon they had achieved a landmark record; the highest opening partnership for India in West Indies in Test matches.

Jaiswal, showing immmense maturity, handled the fast bowlers of West Indies with patience and soon reached his century; hitting twelve boundaries along the way.

Rohit Sharma, on the other end, also produced a knock to remember, completing his own century. He fell to Alick Athanaze at 103 from 221 delivieries; bringing their marvelous opening partnership to a conclusion at 229 runs.

With India set to establish a substantial first innings lead here, this opening partnership may just have delivered the match to India.

At stumps on day two, India have reached 312/2. Jaiswal is still on the crease undeterred at 143 from 350 balls. A big attraction on the third day for Indian cricket fans is whether or not he can actually get a double century on his debut.
