'New kid in the India Test team' - What is Yashasvi Jaiswal's record in the Ranji Trophy? image

Yashasvi Jaiswal has always been a star in the making. 

The young southpaw now is on the verge of making his India debut. After a stellar season with the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in IPL 2023, the left-handed opener has been named in India’s Test squad for the West Indies tour.

Rising through the ranks at the domestic level, Jaiswal has seen an upward trajectory over the past few years. He has been earmarked for greatness right from a young age, especially thanks to his performances for the India U19 team.

Now he has been called up for the Test series against West Indies as India looks to blood youngsters in what could be a revamp of its future batting order. Jaiswal would hope to continue his momentum from the IPL 2023, where he scored 625 runs in 14 matches.

How has he performed in red-ball cricket so far? Let's take a look.
