Dominica: The Indian team is entirely in charge of the first Test being played in Dominica between them and the West Indies. The Indian team performed at its highest level in both bowling and batting.
After West Indies were shut out for 150 runs, Team India's openers savagely destroyed the Caribbean bowlers. Making his debut, Yashasvi Jaiswal made history by scoring a century in his very first innings. With this century, his name was added to a unique list.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, a 21-year-old opener, made history by smashing a century on his Test debut. In reality, very few Indian players have recorded a century in a match played outside of their home country.
Oh YEShasvi! ???? ????

The name of Yashasvi Jaiswal has now been included on the list. Before Jaiswal, Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina, Abbas Ali Baig, Praveen Amre, and Surinder Amarnath accomplished this accomplishment. Jaiswal is the seventh player to achieve so at this time.
In 215 balls, Mumbai native Yashasvi Jaiswal scored the first century of his Test career against the West Indies. His bat has produced 11 fours so far in this inning. Jaiswal is renowned for his ferocious IPL batting.

But when he played Test cricket, he batted very patiently. In his innings, he hardly ever played a bad shot. Yashasvi, 21, has done this to become the first opener outside of India to strike a century in his first Test match.
In addition to this, Jaiswal's bat spoke strongly about his IPL in IPL 2023. He batted at a lightning-fast strike rate of 165 and scored 428 runs. Only because of this IPL season did Jaiswal have the opportunity to play for the Indian squad. Yashasvi will play in the West Indies in a T20 match in addition to Tests.
