Jaiswal uses abusive language in front of Virat Kohli
Yashasvi Jaiswal finished Day 2 at an unbeaten score of 143 off 350 balls. He forged two crucial partnerships at the top of the order for India. Earlier, he scored 229 runs along with Rohit Sharma and then forged an unbeaten 72-run partnership with Virat Kohli. Jaiswal and Kohli will resume batting for India on Day 3 at their overnight scores of 143 and 36 runs, respectively.
Jaiswal, who is playing alongside Virat Kohli for the first time ever, seems to have picked up some of the former captain's habits. Jaiswal was caught on the stump mic using swear words to describe a West Indies bowler. Kohli was batting at the other end at the time, and it is possible that Jaiswal was simply trying to rile up his captain. However, it is also possible that he is simply using Kohli's language as a way to fit in with the team.
