IND vs WI 2nd Test: Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an incredible hundred on Day 1 of the 2nd Test between India and West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday. A well-crafted knock by the southpaw, as he is still unbeaten at stumps on Day 1, catapulting India to 318 for 2 at the end of 90 overs. Ever since Jaiswal has been drafted into the side as an opener, his exploits have been a headache for bowlers around the world.

Jaiswal is currently unbeaten at 173 with the help of 22 boundaries in the innings.

Jaiswal, with his hundred, has equaled the record of Graeme Smith of scoring 7 tons before turning 24. The 23-year-old is only the second opener in the world to achieve this feat. This century of Jaiswal came in his 48th Test inning.

Jaiswal and Smith are placed 2nd and 1st in the list, followed by England’s Len Hutton and Alastair Cook, and West Indies’ Kraigg Brathwaite with five centuries each.
