The achievement came in the 51st over of India’s first innings. Khary Pierre bowled a length ball, and Jaiswal whipped it off his pads towards the square leg and took a couple of runs. The 23-year-old took off the helmet and kissed the badge before soaking in the applause. The opening batter then brought out a heart sign and sent a few flying kisses towards the crowd while his teammates stood up to clap with smiles all around.

Yashasvi Jaiswal proves too good for the West Indies as India dominate Day 1 of the 2nd Test

A clinical batting display from Yashasvi Jaiswal ensured India continued their stronghold against the West Indies on Day 1 of the second Test. Apart from Jaiswal, Sai Sudharsan has looked equally impressive with his half-century. Earlier in the first session, KL Rahul departed after scoring 38 off 54 balls, including one six and five boundaries.
