"Called Around 4:30 AM": Jaiswal's Father Reveals Emotional Chat With Son

The first Test between India and West Indies turned out to be really memorable for young batter Yashasvi Jaiswal as he not only made his international debut but also struck his maiden century. His 171-run knock helped Team India to pull off a comfortable victory against the hosts by an innings and 141 runs. Jaiswal, who also bagged the Player of the Match award for his brilliant performance, came from a very humble background and fought through many hardships to reach where he is today.

It was a very proud and emotional moment for the entire Jaiswal family to see their young son becoming the 17th Indian batter to score a ton on his debut. In a recent interview, the Rajasthan Royals batter's father Bhupendra revealed that Jaiswal had called him up at 4:30 in the morning after smashing the century, which had left the father-son duo in tears.

"He called around 4:30 am in the morning (IST) after scoring his century (Day 2). He couldn't hold back his tears. I cried too. It was a very emotional moment. He could not talk for a long time. He was tired. He just asked me 'are you happy, father?'," Jaiswal's father told Hindustan Times. 

From selling street food in Mumbai to winning the player-of-the-match award in his test debut in Roseau, Jaiswal is international cricket's latest rags-to-riches story.

"I used to think about playing for my country when I was young. Emotional moment for me but this is just the start," Jaiswal said after collecting his player-of-the-match award.

"A lot of people have helped me in this journey. I want to thank each and everyone...I want to thank the selectors and captain for showing faith and allowing me to express," he added. 

Talking about the match, Ravichandran Ashwin was too good for an ill-equipped West Indies batting line-up as his second five-wicket haul of the game set up India's innings and 141-run victory on Friday.

After India declared their first innings at 421 for five midway into the afternoon session, an improved batting show was expected from the Caribbean batters but they were simply not up to the task and collapsed to 130 all out in 50 overs to ensure a three-day finish.

"You Belong Here": Rohit Reveals Chat With Jaiswal During Record Stand

India's skipper Rohit Sharma didn't hold back to laud youngster Yasasvi Jaiswal whose impressive knock of 171 laid the foundation for the victory against West Indies in the two-match Test series on Friday at Windsor Park. Jaiswal made the most of the opportunity that came to him in his debut Test. He took on the bowlers, didn't panic and managed to hold on to his nerves throughout his 501 minutes innings. 

The Indian skipper shared some special words on the Test debutant Yasahsvi Jaiswal and said in the post-match presentation, "He has the talent, he has shown us in the past that he is ready. Came and batted sensibly. The temperament was also tested, at no stage he was panicking." 

Rohit, who also holds the experience of scoring a ton on his Test debut against the Windies a decade ago, said that all he told Jaiswal during their partnership was that he belonged at the Test level. 

"In the middle, it was just about having a chat, letting him know, 'You belong here.' That is the most important thing, because when you're playing your first Test match, you kind of keep asking yourself whether you belong here or not, but my job from the other side was to just keep telling him, 'You've done all the hard yards, it's just about enjoying your time in the middle. Don't worry about the results, just enjoy your time, and if you do that the results will flow.," Rohit added. 

He also went on to praise the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja after they outclassed the hosts batting set-up throughout the Test match. 

Ashwin made a roaring comeback after being dropped from the World Test Championship 2023 final squad against Australia. He made short work of West Indies batters on a deteriorating pitch which continued to offer extra spin and bounce to spinners. 

Considering the pitch and the overall conditions, Rohit said that it is a "luxury" to have spinners like them who have the experience to perform in such conditions. 

"The results speak for themselves, they have been doing it for a while. There isn't much to tell them, it is about giving them the freedom to express. The experience these guys have on pitches like this is always a luxury. Both Ash and Jadeja were superb, especially Ashwin for coming out and bowling this way was class," Rohit said. 

Rohit further went on to say that the never intended to come out and bat for a second time. They were looking to bat long get enough runs to restrict Windies on a surface where runs didn't come by that easily. 

"I would like to start by saying it was a great effort with the ball. Getting them out for 150 set the game for us. We knew batting would get tough, it wasn't easy to score runs. We knew we wanted to bat only once and bat long. Get over 400 runs and then we came out and bowled really well," Rohit added. 

While coming to the match, over the course of three days, India dominated the hosts in every session. 

West Indies bundled out at a total of 150 runs on the first day. India's batter fought for the remaining overs on Day 1, the entirety of Day 2 and the opening session of Day 3. Rohit and Jaiswal's opening stand was enough to see off the trail and add some runs to their kitty for a solid lead before they lost their first wicket.

Ashwin claimed seven scalps in the second innings to ensure India's victory before the end of Day 3.
