I am blessed to play with Virat Kohli: Yashasvi Jaiswal

Team India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal calls himself blessed that he is being able to play alongside Virat Kohli at the start of his career.
“It is amazing to see him bat. What can I say? He is a legend. I am blessed to play with him. There’s a lot of things to learn from him be it cricket and outside of it. I try to pick his mind,” Jaiswal told reporters after day’s play.
Virat Kohli moved to within 13 runs of his 29th test ton on his 500th international appearance as India rallied from a rocky afternoon session to reach 288-4 against West Indies at stumps Thursday on the first day of the second Test.
The young southpaw, who scored century in his debut feels it is a luxury that he can have a conversation with Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
“Everyone has there own way to explaining things. They all have experience. I len to all of their advice very carefully. When they are talking there are few thoughts behind it. Getting information, small small other stuffs, it’s just incredible,” he said.
West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl first as the hosts try and level the two-match series. India were off to a good start with Jaiswal (57) and Rohit Sharma (80) adding 139 runs for the first wicket. Pacer Jason Holder ended India’s 139-run opening stand claiming Yashasvi Jaiswal (57), who was caught Kirk McKenzie.
“Of course, I am disappointed. It happens in cricket. I just need to keep learning and keep thinking that how i can do bettwe when I come to bat next,” he said.

On missing out on another century, Jaiswal said: “I feel whenever I bat I try to make sure that how long I can bat and of course, there is disappointment when I get out. I need to just keep learning. I always want to do well for the team. I go out there with the same mindset. It is pleasure to go out there and play for your country.”
Two games in a row, Jaiswal had a good partnership with skipper Rohit Sharma, which has given a good platform for India. The youngster explains why he explains batting with Rohit Sharma.
“It’s really nice to bat with Rohit bhaiya. We always talk about the situation, how we can go forward, ofcourse, we have our plans. It was really amazing to bat with him,” he said.
