Yashasvi Jaiswal made history by hitting a century
21-year-old young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal created history by hitting a century in his Test debut. Actually, very few Indian players have scored a century in their debut match outside India. Now Yashasvi Jaiswal’s name has also been added to that list. Before Jaiswal, this feat has been done by Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina, Abbas Ali Baig, Praveen Amre and Surinder Amarnath. Jaiswal has now become the seventh player to do so.
Jaiswal hit a century in 215 balls
Yashasvi Jaiswal of Mumbai has scored the first century of his Test career against the West Indies in 215 balls. So far 11 fours have come out of his bat in this innings. Jaiswal is known for his stormy batting in IPL. But he batted with a lot of patience while playing Tests. He hardly played a bad shot in his innings. With this, 21-year-old Yashasvi has become the first opener to score a century in his debut Test outside India.
Apart from this, talking about Jaiswal’s IPL, in IPL 2023, Jaiswal’s bat spoke fiercely. He scored 428 runs batting at a blistering strike rate of 165. Jaiswal got a chance to play in the Indian team only because of this IPL season. Apart from Tests, Yashasvi is also in the T20 squad against the West Indies.
