Lala Amarnath, Abbas Ali Baig and Gundappa Viswanath also scored a hundred on Test debut but reached there in the second innings.

Jaiswal's knock along with Rohit Sharma's innings, who too is approaching his hundred, has extended India's dominance over West Indies in this Test match after the Men in Blue had bowled out the hosts for 150 in the first innings. The have put on a 200-run opening stand already and are still looking going strong.


Talking about Jaiswal's knock, the left-handed batter took 16 deliveries before he scored his first run. There was a clear trend in his batting with him taking his time whenever he came back after break be it after a rain interruption on Day 1 or when he resumed his innings on Day 2.
