Jayant Yadav makes Test debut for India: Twitterati congratulate young off-spinner

He had made his ODI debut at the same venue when India played New Zeland in the fifth and final ODI. Former India captain Ravi Shastri handed him the Test cap.

Jayant has taken 117 first-class wickets and also averages over 28 with the
bat. India are playing two off-spinners in the second Test match.

Here's how Twitterati reacted on his debut:

Of course, many left handers in the opposition makes it easier to pick an off spinner. And Jayant Yadav bats. But bit hard on Mishra

Today's match has equated bowling attacks with the debut of Jayant Yadav and comeback of James Anderson.
But feeling sad for Gautam Gambhir.
