Yashasvi Jaiswal brought the cricketing world to his feet with a blistering knock on his Test debut. The left-handed youngster smoked 171 runs off 387 deliveries in the first Test against West Indies. The opener displayed a calm and calculated batting approach and articulated some frame-worthy shots.

Jaiswal was dismissed by Alazarri Joseph at 171 but only after stitching a 229-run partnership with skipper Rohit Sharma and a 110-run partnership with Virat Kohli. Jaiswal and Sharma also broke the record for the highest opening partnership between India and West Indies in Tests.
