Left-hander Yashasvi was a bit nervy in the start of his innings but after facing a few balls he got comfortable and looked untroubled for the bulk of his stay at the crease on Day 1 of IND vs WI 1st Test. He and opener Rohit together stitched a solid 80-run stand for first wicket after the Indian bowlers bowled out hosts West Indies for just 150 runs in their first innings.
