India's young batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal made his debut for the Men in Blue in T20 cricket on Tuesday against West Indies at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. WI captain Rovman Powell won the toss and opted to bat in the third game of the five-match T20I series against India.

The hosts are leading 2-0, and have a chance to seal things in the third T20I with a couple of games to spare. India are set to face West Indies in the third T20I match which could potentially decide the fate of this series.

Fans could not keep calm after the news of Jaiswal's debut and they were just delighted to see the Rajasthan Royals star ready to play for India. The boy who once sold 'paani puri' is playing for India today is one of the biggest success stories that will ever come across.

Speaking at the time of toss, West Indies captain Rovman Powell said, "We'll bat first. Looks a little slow wicket. Holder in the last game picked up a niggle to his knee. He misses out, Chase comes in. Guys are excited, we are on the doorstep of history. They have such quality players, have to keep them on their toes. If you become predictable, they will destroy you."

India captain Hardik Pandya said, "Don't mind chasing. Obviously would've preferred to bat looking at the surface. Might get slower. It is what it is. Pooran has been batting very well. Would like to keep things simple to him, rather than trying a lot of things. Two changes, Yashasvi makes his debut, Kuldeep comes in for Bishnoi. Ishan misses out."
