India vs West Indies 1st Test Highlights: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video via its official Twitter handle featuring talented youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal and wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan. The duo received their maiden Test caps on the eve of India vs West Indies 1st Test on Wednesday (July 12) in Dominicia's Windsor Park. The day was quite special for Yashasvi as the 21-year-old, after showcasing his talent with back-to-back stunning performances in 2023 edition of Indian Premier League (IPL), earned a well-deserved call-up to India Test team, eventually becoming the 306th Test cricketer to play for the Indian cricket team. While Ishan Kishan received his Test debut cap from ex-India skipper Virat Kohli, Yashasvi was handed his Test debut cap by all-format skipper Rohit Sharma.
A beautiful moment was captured on camera as an emotional Jaiswal hugged captain Rohit after receiving the Test cap. Watch below the viral video.
Left-hander Yashasvi was a bit nervy in the start of his innings but after facing a few balls he got comfortable and looked untroubled for the bulk of his stay at the crease on Day 1 of IND vs WI 1st Test. He and opener Rohit together stitched a solid 80-run stand for first wicket after the Indian bowlers bowled out hosts West Indies for just 150 runs in their first innings.
