India vs West Indies: 'Yashasvi Jaiswal has arrived', Twitter celebrates opener's century on Test debut

Yashasvi Jaiswal got his international career off to a memorable start by slamming a century on Test debut on Day 2 of the first Test between West Indies and India in Dominica.

The southpaw brought up the milestone with a single off fellow debutant Alick Athanaze during the second session on Thursday, consuming 215 deliveries and collecting 11 boundaries along the way.

Jaiswal, whose selection came on the back of impressive performances for Mumbai and the Rajasthan Royals in the domestic circuit and the IPL respectively, thus became the 17th Indian to score a hundred on Test debut.

Prithvi Shaw and Shreyas Iyer were the last Indians to achieve the feat, in 2018 and 2021 respectively although both tons came on home soil. What makes Jaiswal’s feat unique is the fact that he is the first Indian batter to score a hundred on Test debut in the Caribbean.

Here are some of the reactions to Jaiswal’s knock:

Dear world, pause and take notice – Yashasvi Jaiswal has arrived!
