Social media exploded with fans all over lauding the young batsman with words of appreciation for scoring his first T20I fifty for the Indian team.
Despite the heroics of Kuldeep Yadav with the ball early on in the first innings, West Indies managed to put up a formidable score of 179 for India to chase.
All eyes were set on the young 21-year-old hailing from Suriyawan, Yashasvi Jaiswal, as the stage was set for the young batting phenom to take over and showcase to the world why he has been making headlines as of late.
And that is exactly what Jaiswal ended up doing as he went on to smack a quickfire fifty off just 33 deliveries and took the fight to West Indies along with his strike partner Shubman Gill.
