Watch: Yashasvi Jaiswal runs to Rohit Sharma after record century, Virat Kohli reacts from dressing room

Yashasvi Jaiswal ran towards captain and opening partner Rohit Sharma after completing his century on debut. Virat Kohli reacted from the dressing room.

Yashasvi Jaiswal will forever remember Day 2 of the India vs West Indies 1st Test in Dominica. For he entered the record books with a fantastic century in his first Test. His celebrations after he reached the milestone narrated the entire story. In the first ball of the 70th over, Jaiswal shuffled across his stumps and swatted a shortish delivery from off-spinner Alick Athanaze towards long leg to charge towards the non-striker’s end. There was no need to scamper as would have been an easy single even if he had jogged but try telling that to a man batting on 99 on Test debut.

Jaiswal took his helmet off and jumped in the air followed by loud screams as soon as he completed the single to bring up his century. He also didn’t forget to bow down to the Indian dressing room – something which he has made his signature after every century – which was on its feet clapping and cheering.

After soaking in the applause from the crowd and the dressing room, the 21-year-old then turned and ran towards captain and opening partner Rohit Sharma. It was like a kid running to his mentor for appreciation. Rohit hugged the youngster with a smile. The cameras quickly panned towards Virat Kohli, who too had an ear-to-ear smile. It was a wholesome moment for Indian cricket.
