The 21-year-old Yashasvi, who had an astonishing IPL 2023 season, received his debut Test cap from his Mumbai senior and India captain Rohit Sharma. Ishan got the coveted cap from the run machine Virat Kohli.
While Yashasvi will open the batting alongside India captain Rohit, the wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan will be seen in the middle order. Yashasvi was also selected as a stand-by player for the World Test Championship Final against Australia which India lost by 209 runs.
Talking about debutants Yashasvi and Ishan, Rohit, during the toss, said: “Just want them to enjoy. They will have nerves but it’s our responsibility to make sure they enjoy it. Those guys have the potential and I hope we can give them all the comfort and happiness they need on the ground.”
