Talking about the series opener, R Ashwin and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal were the standout performers for the visitors at Windsor Park in Roseau. The latter made a magnificent 171 off 387 in the first innings which also saw him winning the Player of the Match award eventually. 

Ashwin bowled beautifully as he spun his web to pick up 5/60 in the first and 7/71 in the second innings. Kraigg Brathwaite and his team will look to put up a better show and compete against a strong-looking Indian side.
