IND vs WI: Yashasvi Jaiswal Shatters Multiple Records After His Stupendous 171-Run Knock At Dominica

Young Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal has been the talk of the town after his magnificent outing on his debut against West Indies in the ongoing first Test at Windsor Park in Roseau, Dominica. The southpaw, who replaced Cheteshwar Pujara in the squad, lived up to the expectations.

Yashasvi Jaiswal opened the innings for India alongside skipper Rohit Sharma and it’s fair to say that despite the senior opener scoring a century, he outshined him. The southpaw looked settled at the crease and showed great grit and patience.
