You must set path of the chromedriver.exe before calling new ChromeDriver()

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\\SeleniumTools\\chromedriver\\chromedriver.exe");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    System.out.println("Welcome to Selenium");
    driver.get("https://in.yahoo.com/");
}
