Yashasvi Jaiswal is leaving. Once more, the way he is hitting. If you don’t take him, you’ll think it’s unjust. He can be selected if you are ever undroppable. That’s the reason he’s here, running. He has now surpassed Gill (Shubman). However, you won’t be able to touch him anymore,” Chopra stated on his YouTube page.
At the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on Sunday, January 14, Team India defeated Afghanistan by six wickets to establish an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match Twenty20 International series. Yashasvi Jaiswal, the opener, and Shivam Dube (63* off 32) both had outstanding innings at the bat, hitting 68 off 34 balls and blasting five fours and five sixes.
With a strike rate of 163.81 and 498 runs from 15 innings at an average of 35.57, Yashasvi Jaiswal has astonished everyone in his brief T20I career.
He has also amassed 104 fifty-score points. After hitting a match-winning fifty in the second Twenty20 International, Aakash Chopra, a former cricketer for India who is now a commentator, believes the 22-year-old is invincible in the Twenty20 squad and has edged over Shubman Gill in the selection process.
In a further statement, Chopra warned against dropping him since it would result in every player in the batting lineup hitting at the same pace.
“You need something like this when you bat, so you shouldn’t even try for it (not picking Jaiswal). Otherwise, everything will remain the same, the playing style will not alter, he continued, saying that it will be exactly like in 2022.
With 14 T20I innings played, Shubman Gill has two fifty-plus scores.
Shubman Gill, on the other hand, has amassed 335 runs at an average of 25.76 from 14 innings in Twenty20 Internationals, despite only recording two fifty-plus scores, including one century. With just 40 runs scored in the last four innings of the shortest format, the 24-year-old has been failing miserably and has now dropped behind Jaiswal in the running for a spot in the starting XI.
On Wednesday, January 17, at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, India will play Afghanistan in the third Twenty20 International, hoping to complete a rout of the Afghans.
