1.India's 293rd Test player
Mumbai's 18-year-old and India's Under-19 World Cup winning captain, Prithvi Shaw, became India's 293rd representative in Test cricket as he received his Test cap from none other than his India captain, Virat Kohli. He scored a ton on Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy debut and will be keen to replicate the same on the biggest platform of Test cricket. PC: ICC Twitter
2.A debut for West Indies too!
Meanwhile, for the tourists, Shermon Lewis made his Test debut on Thursday in the ongoing first Test between India and West Indies and he received his playing cap from West Indies bowling legend Ian Bishop. PC: Twitter
3.India lose early wicket
Indian Captain Virat Kohli, who has had a poor run with the toss, for a chance won the toss on Thursday and opted to bat against West Indies in the first Test of the ongoing two-Test series. The hosts did not have the greatest of the starts when they lost KL Rahul in the first over itself at 3 for 1 after he was trapped leg before wicket off Gabriel's bowling. PC: AFP
4.What a Test debut!
India's 18-year-old Prithvi Shaw kicked-off his Test career with a bang when he scored maiden fifty off 56 balls during India’s first Test against West Indies at Rajkot on Thursday. By doing so, he became India’s only teenage to score a half-century on Test debut. PC: AFP
5.India take lunch at 133/2
After Rahul's wicket in the opening over of the day, West Indies have failed to even trouble Prithvi Shaw and Pujara so far. The two have put up 130 runs for the second wicket, with a half-century each, as the hosts take lunch at a comfortable 133/1. PC: AFP
6.15th Indian to do so!
Prithvi Shaw became the 15th Indian to score a hundred on Test debut, first since Rohit Sharma in 2013. Shaw is the second youngest Indian to score a Test hundred after Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and once again, a Mumbai cricketer justifies the cricket culture of his city. PC: PTI
7.Take a bow, Shaw!
Indian opener Prithvi Shaw finally was caught and bowled by Bishoo, courtesy of a poor shot from the batsman himself. His knock of 134 off 154 included 19 boundaries. PC: AFP
8.Missed opportunity
