Yashasvi Jaiswal has been toiling hard in the domestic circuit and his hard work paid off. He was there with the team as a standby as well for the WTC Final. Ever since reaching the Carribean, he has put in hard yards and has been preparing well with the team.
As per the reports in PTI, it is learned that Jaiswal is the front-runner to make his debut in whites for India in the first Test against West Indies. He was staggering in the two-day practice game as well as blasted a half-century and looked good to the eyes.
If the reports related to him emerge to be true, he will likely open or bat at No.3 for the team. The left-hander has been performing well batting at the top of the order for his domestic teams and it remains to be seen how he fares at the international level.
