After securing his maiden international century, in the first Test against West Indies, Jaiswal gave an incredibly emotional interview that touched everyone's hearts.

Making his return to the side after missing the World Test Championship (WTC) final, India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin hogged all the limelight on Day 1 of the first Test against West Indies on Wednesday.

Ashwin went on to pick up his 33rd five-wicket haul as West Indies were bowled out 150 in the first innings.

The constant search for excellence has pushed R Ashwin to new heights but by his own admission, it has also been "incredibly draining". Ashwin, the world's number one Test bowler, put the disappointment of being dropped from the World Test Championship final with a 33rd five-wicket haul in the first Test against the West Indies in Dominica on Wednesday.

The young Yashasvi Jaiswal stood tall among the giants of Indian cricket on Thursday, as he slammed his maiden Test ton in his first Test match. After 41 long years, since India's 1982 tour of England where Suru Nayak and Sunil Gavaskar opened, there were two Mumbai men opening for the country and put up the best-ever stand of 229 against the West Indies, beating the previous best of 201 set by Sanjay Bangar and Virender Sehwag back in 2001.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, a young man from Bhadohi who toughened up on ruthless Mumbai Maidans, enjoyed his finest day on a cricket pitch with an unconquered debut hundred as India seized complete control on the second day of the opening Test against the West Indies. Skipper Rohit Sharma (103 off 221 balls), also eschewed his natural flair en route his 10th Test hundred and a record 229-run opening stand with Jaiswal (143 batting, 350 balls) as India batted cautiously but still did well enough to slowly bat West Indies out of the game, finishing the second day on 312 for two. In the whole day, India managed only 232 runs in 90 overs. Jaiswal, who batted the entire second day, has the seasoned Virat Kohli (36 batting, 96 balls) for company as the duo added 72 runs for the third wicket.
