Yashasvi Jaiswal Becomes 3rd Indian Opener To Slam Ton On Debut, Surpasses Virender Sehwag-Wasim Jaffer's Record Along With Rohit Sharma

Yashasvi Jaiswal was always earmarked for big things. Since his u-19 days, Jaiswal composure and talent made him stand out from his peers. He gave enough proof of his talent in domestic cricket and the IPL for him to be selected for the Test series against West Indies. And the 21-year-old took only one innings to prove that the faith shown in him by the team management was not unfounded. Opening the innings in the first Test in Dominica, Jaiswal slammed his maiden ton in 215 balls.

Duleep Trophy: Vidwath's Kaverappa Four-Wicket Burst Gives South Zone Edge

South Zone pacers were brilliantly bellicose while reducing West Zone to 129 for 7 and help their team regain some of the lost ground on the second day of the Duleep Trophy final in Bengaluru on Thursday. West still trail South by 84 runs. Earlier, South were bundled out for 213 in their first innings.
