'You belong here, enjoy your time here': Rohit Sharma to Yashasvi Jaiswal

TIL Desk Sports/ Yashasvi Jaiswal always had the talent and now he has shown that he belongs at the highest level, India skipper Rohit Sharma said following the southpaw’s 171 on debut in the first Test against West Indies.

Jaiswal became only the third Indian to score 150 on debut and his big break came after sensational performances in IPL and domestic cricket. Rohit, who also got a hundred, shared a 229-run stand with Jaiswal.

“He has the talent, he has shown us in the past that he is ready. Came and batted sensibly. The temperament was also tested, at no stage he was panicking. The chats we had were to remind him that ‘you belong here. You have done the hard yards, enjoy your time here’. “That is the most important thing, because when you’re playing your first Test match, you kind of keep asking yourself whether you belong here or not,” said Rohit after an innings and 141-run win.
