To track the runway center line you will need to be crabbing with the nose towards the wind.

When you eventually want to land you want to be pointing (heading) as well as tracking the runway center line.

So on approach your heading will be to the right of the runway track and to get the aircraft to also point in that direction you will have to yaw the aircraft to the left which is the left rudder input
