WI vs IND: 'Well done' - Tendulkar heaps praise on Yashasvi Jaiswal for scoring century on Test debut

On Thursday (July 14), Yashasvi Jaiswal created history as he became only the 17th Indian, 113th player overall, to slam a hundred on Test debut. Jaiswal got to the remarkable feat during Day Two of the first Test, in Dominica, between India and West Indies. The left-hander began his innings with a lot of promise and while he was cautious on Day Two, he never looked out of sorts and reached the triple-figure mark without dropping much sweat.

After Jaiswal entered the record books during Day Two's proceedings in Dominica, wishes have been pouring in for him from all corners. Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar also joined in and congratulated the 21-year-old left-hander. He tweeted, "A यशस्वीstart to your Test career, @ybj_19! Well done. And a splendid century by @ImRo45." It is to be noted thatYashasvi means successful. Check out the former batter's post:
