The opener becomes second youngest Indian to reach a tally of 7 Test hundreds joining Sachin Tendulkar in the elite list, leaving behind even greats like Virat Kohli, Sunil Gavaskar

- PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

New Delhi, Oct 10: Yashasvi Jaiswal drove with precision, cut with ferocity and defended with doggedness to decimate a hapless West Indies attack with another ‘Daddy Hundred’ that took India to a commanding 318 for 2 on the opening day of the second Test here Friday.

Jaiswal displayed all facets of his extraordinary talent en route an unbeaten 173 off 253 balls. He had skipper Shub-man Gill (20) for company when stumps were drawn for the day.

Such was Jaiswal's panache that there wasn't a single awkward boundary during his knock which was laced with 22 hits to the fence.

The control with which he dictated the proceedings also gave enough confidence to another young batter Sai Sudharsan (87), who looked good for his maiden Test hundred but fell 13 short.
