Yashasvi Jaiswal left everyone utterly impressed after he scored a brilliant century against West Indies in his debut match for India. His knock of 171 runs helped the Rohit Sharma-led side to register a comfortable victory by an innings and 141 runs in the first Test of the two-match series.

India brutally thrashed West Indies by an innings and 141 runs in the first Test of the two-match series on Saturday. It was a completely dominant performance from the visitors as debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 171 runs and star all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin took 12 wickets. In the entire match, the spinners had the upper hand as the pitch at Windsor Park in Roseau was spin-friendly.

India completely outplayed West Indies in the first Test match in Dominica but not before the pitch produced a few surprises for the visitors. There were clear cracks on the playing surface by Day 2 and a few deliveries produced movements that took the batters by surprise. On Day 3, a delivery from Kraigg Brathwaite landed on one of the cracks and it spun and bounced steeply much to the amazement of Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja quickly called for a helmet considering the unpredictable movement of the deliveries and even Virat Kohli could not hide his emotions, producing a cheeky smile.
