#5 "Even though it was kind of frustrating, he never lost his calmness" - Deep Dasgupta

Former Indian wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta pointed out how the conditions in West Indies are not the best for batting. Still, Jaiswal kept his composure and did not attempt a big shot out of frustration.

"Yesterday [Day 1], the stump mic volume was pretty high and when the ball was kind of old, I heard him saying, ‘I am trying, but the ball is so soft, I can’t hit it hard enough as much as I try’. Even though it was kind of frustrating, he never lost his calmness, his composure. That says a lot for somebody who is so young at the highest level," said Dasgupta on ESPNCricinfo.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has an opportunity to complete a double hundred on Test debut today. He needs 57 more runs to achieve the feat. Day 3 of the first India vs West Indies Test will start at 7:30 PM IST.
