On his Test debut against West Indies on 12 July 2023, he became the 17th Indian batter to score a century on Test debut, joining the likes of Lala Amarnath, Gundappa Vishwanath, Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma, and other legendary players. He became the first Indian opener to score a century on Test debut in an overseas venue and the third overall – the other two openers being Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw. Remaining just 29 runs short of a double century at 171, Jaiswal became the highest-scoring Indian batter on Test debut away from home; he surpassed Sourav Ganguly’s record of 131 runs against England at Lord’s. He broke the record of most balls faced (387) by an Indian on Test debut; he surpassed Mohammad Azharuddin’s record of 322 deliveries.
