Yashasvi Jaiswal produced a breathtaking unbeaten 173 on day one of the second Test against the West Indies, showcasing his immense talent and composure. After a decent start in the first Test, Jaiswal seized the opportunity with both hands, demonstrating enhanced grit and superior shot selection to anchor India’s strong position. Supported by fine innings from Sai Sudharsan (87) and KL Rahul (38), India reached 318/2 by the end of the day, with captain Shubman Gill also remaining unbeaten on 20.
Legendary Indian cricketer Anil Kumble was effusive in his praise for the young opener’s marathon effort. Kumble lauded Jaiswal’s relentless pursuit of big scores and his positive attitude. “He’s still out there, and he can go on to score big runs tomorrow,” Kumble observed. He boldly predicted that Jaiswal is not just capable of reaching a double century but has the potential to achieve a rare triple hundred, given his current form and the favorable batting conditions.
