Amir Jangoo shocks everyone with stunning century on debut

In St. Kitts, the West Indies completed a clean sweep of the one-day international series against Bangladesh, with Amir Jangoo making an outstanding impact by scoring an unbeaten 104 runs in his debut match. The game took place at Warner Park, where the West Indies successfully chased down a target of 322, following previously successful run chases of 294 and 227 weeks earlier in the series. Jangoo's experience belied his debut status, as he initially came to bat at a precarious position with his team struggling at 86-4 in the 15th over. Partnered with Keacy Carty, the duo put on a formidable partnership of 132 runs, which was crucial for the West Indies' victory. Carty played a critical role too, contributing a solid 95 runs before getting out, leading to Jangoo's crucial century off just 79 balls. This achievement also showcased Jangoo's previous form, having scored multiple high runs in the domestic circuit just before his international debut. Notably, Jangoo’s achievement places him second on the all-time list of highest scores by a West Indian man on debut in ODIs, surpassed only by Desmond Haynes’ 148 runs against Australia in 1978. His further six-hitting prowess throughout the innings highlighted his capability to handle high-pressure situations expertly, allowing him to record multiple sixes and strike an impressive run rate in pursuit of the target. Despite Bangladesh's strong efforts on the other side, including significant contributions from their batsmen, the West Indies proved too strong as Jangoo and Gudakesh Motie consolidated their win, with Motie also scoring 44 from 31 balls. The remarkable performances from both teams contributed to a thrilling series, but ultimately, it was the West Indies who emerged victorious, marking a significant achievement for the team and setting a tone for future international matches.
