The 21-year-old India National Cricket Team left-handed opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed a cracking half-century on his Test debut on Day 2 of the match against Kraigg Brathwaite-led West Indies National Cricket Team on July 13 at the Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica.

Jaiswal was handed his debut Test cap by the Indian captain Rohit Sharma ahead of the match. He was included in the Indian Test team on the back of his sensational performances in domestic cricket as well as Indian Premier League (IPL).

India were invited to bowl first in the match by the hosts and they did a brilliant job. Indian spinners – Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja – showed dominance and picked up wickets at regular intervals to bundle out the opposition for 150 runs.
