In reply, India got off to a wonderful start, with captain Rohit Sharma and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal taking India's score to 80/0 by the end of Day 1. On Thursday, July 13, the visitors continued to impress with the bat, as they reached a score of 312 runs for the loss of only two wickets.

On the back of the dominant batting show and Jaiswal's heroics, there were several records that were broken by India. On that note, here are five records that were broken on Day 2 of the first Test between West Indies and India.

#5 Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal become first-ever Indian opening pair to take first-innings lead in a Test

Ravichandran Ashwin's five-wicket haul and Ravindra Jadeja's three-wicket haul helped India bundle out the West Indies for 150 runs. While the host batters found it difficult to score runs on the slow surface in Dominica, both the Indian openers showed great temperament and grit.

Sharma and Jaiswal batted together for almost three sessions and comfortably went past the Windies' first-innings total of 150. In doing so, they became the first-ever Indian opening pair to take a first-innings lead in a Test match.

#4 Highest score by a Test debutant for India while playing away from home

Highest score by Indian Test debut when playing outside home:

132* - Yashasvi Jaiswal v WI, 2023 (so far)
131 - Sourav Ganguly v ENG, 1996
124 - Surinder Amarnath v NZ, 1976
120 - Suresh Raina v SL, 2010
112 - Abbas Ali Baig v ENG, 1959

Jaiswal's batting performance has been laudable, to say the least. Ever since facing his first ball on Day 1, the left-hander has been composed and admirable in his way of scoring runs.

He is currently unbeaten at 143*, which is now the highest-ever individual score by an Indian debutant while playing away from home. Previously, another left-hander in Sourav Ganguly held the record when he scored 131 runs against England on his debut at Lord's in 1996.

Despite some turn and sluggishness that was on offer off the surface, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma batted wonderfully and stitched a giant opening partnership of 229 runs.

Both the batters reached their respective centuries before the skipper was caught by the wicketkeeper for 103 runs. It ended what was a terrific opening stand.

Watch out world, a young cricket prodigy has arrived! ⭐

The 229-run opening partnership by Jaiswal and Sharma is now the highest-ever opening stand by any Indian pair outside Asia. The two broke the 44-year old record, surpassing the 213-run opening stand made by Sunil Gavaskar and Chetan Chauhan in a Test against England at the Oval in 1979.
