Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan made their debut for the Indian cricket team in the first test match against the West Indies in Dominica.
Jaiswal’s incredible journey, from selling panipuri on the streets of Mumbai to breaking records in the IPL, is well-known. Despite playing only 15 first-class matches, the 21-year-old boasts an impressive average of over 80, with nine centuries to his name and a highest score of 265.
Jaiswal’s selection follows his exceptional performance in the IPL 2023, where he scored 625 runs in 14 matches, including a remarkable century. Indian captain Rohit Sharma expressed his hopes that Jaiswal would make the opening spot his own, as the team has long been in need of a left-hander.
The debut of Jaiswal and Kishan adds excitement to the Indian cricket team’s lineup as they take on the West Indies in this important test series.
