Will Yashasvi Jaiswal Become the 3rd Indian to Score a Triple Century? All Eyes on the 2nd Test Against West Indies

Yashasvi Jaiswal ended Day 1 of the 2nd Test against West Indies unbeaten on 173, putting India in a commanding position at 318 for 2 after 90 overs. With Shubman Gill at the other end on 20*, the spotlight firmly rests on the young opener, who now stands within striking distance of a rare milestone — a Test triple century.

Triple centuries are among cricket’s most elusive feats, achieved only 33 times in Test history. For India, just two batters — Virender Sehwag and Karun Nair — have entered the exclusive 300-run club. While reaching the mark is never guaranteed, Jaiswal’s situation offers hope grounded in probability, not fantasy.

The biggest advantage for the 22-year-old left-hander is time. With India losing only two wickets on the opening day, they have the luxury to bat deep into Day 2, giving Jaiswal potentially two full sessions to chase history. If he maintains his composure and rhythm, this innings could very well etch his name alongside Sehwag and Nair in Indian cricket folklore.
