"He is going to be a superstar" - Cricketers & fans erupt as Yashasvi Jaiswal smashes hundred on Test debut

Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his dream run with a Test hundred on debut against the West Indies on Day 2 of the first Test in Dominica on Thursday. The left-hander brought up his hundred off 215 balls, proving just how much he had to grind it out to get to the landmark.

Jaiswal has all the shots in his book and likes to express himself. However, he showed the willingness to dig deep and ensure he stayed with captain Rohit Sharma to form a mammoth opening partnership.

Fans and players on Twitter are delighted to see Yashasvi Jaiswal deliver on the promise at the international level. Former England opener Michael Vaughan said:

"He's going to be a superstar. 1 Test innings, 1 Ton already"

Here are some of the top Twitter reactions:

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma put India in dominant position on Day 2

Team India already seemed to be ahead in the first Test after the end of play on Day 1. They started the second day keen to bat West Indies out of the game.

It began in almost near-perfect fashion for the visitors as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma batted cautiously in the first session, adding 66 runs but ensuring that they didn't lose a wicket. Once they saw off the initial burst from the West Indies bowlers, Jaiswal began to take control and looked to score freely.

The young left-hander's hundred was soon followed by the Indian captain's second overseas Test hundred. It marked the first time in four years that both Indian openers scored hundreds in the same innings of a Test. The two openers added 229 runs for the first wicket as the visitors tightened their grip on the game.

West Indies have struck with two quick wickets in the form of Rohit and Shubman Gill. With the new ball almost due, they will be keen to make further inroads in the batting as they seek a way back into the game.
