What to expect from the IND vs WI first Test match?
Speaking to reporters at the pre-match presser on Tuesday, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma confirmed that 21-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal will make his international debut in India vs West Indies 1st Test match. Rohit said Jaiswal fits right into India’s lookout for a left-handed batsman while confirming that the youngster will be his batting partner in the Caribbean. The captain further added that Shubman Gill will be batting at no. 3, ahead of Virat Kohli at no. 4..
Indian cricket was desperately looking for a left-hander, and we have found one in Jaiswal. The left-right combination at the top will be a big advantage for us. Gill himself went to head coach Rahul Dravid and expressed a desire to bat at No.3 as he has batted in that position throughout his career.
