Young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased a dominating performance in the second Test against West Indies, smashing 175 runs on the opening day. However, his chance to notch up a double century was cut short due to a mix-up with captain Shubman Gill that resulted in the left-hander getting run out in frustration. Despite this, Jaiswal broke multiple records, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's record of five scores of more than 150 runs in an innings before the age of 23. With this, he also became the second-highest century scorer as an opener in the World Test Championship, only behind Rohit Sharma.
