Team India had a dominant day one in the first Test against West Indies in Dominica as they bundled out the host for just 150 runs in their first innings. Then, skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal ensured that the team did not lose any wickets as they scored 80 runs. Jaiswal remained not out on 40 runs while Rohit remained not out on 30 runs.

“He is very vibrant, hope he goes far.” – Ravichandran Ashwin on Yashasvi Jaiswal
Speaking of the video, the incident took place during the ninth over. On the second delivery of that over, Alzarri Joseph bowled a yorker and that left the Team India skipper surprised. He managed only an inside edge and it seemed that the ball or the bat hit his legs. So, he came up with such a curse word while limping to complete the single run.
Speaking of the match, Ravichandran Ashwin came up with another fifer and Ravindra Jadeja also grabbed three wickets. Debutant Jaiswal also looked solid as he played some delightful shots. Regarding that, after the end of the day’s play, Ashwin said: “He just reverse swept the first ball of the last over! That’s what you can expect from him. He is very vibrant, hope he goes far. From our side, we hope to keep the environment good for him.”
Regarding his 33rd five-wicket haul, he said: “Pretty good performance. There was moisture in the pitch in the first session. It got slow and started to spin a bit more. It got a lot more slower. Personally enjoyed my first spell and had to adapt a bit more after. Not surprised with the pitch, expected it to be a bit dry. In my previous tours of West Indies, when it spins, it also tends to be slow.”
