Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma could open in the forthcoming three-match Twenty20 International series against Afghanistan, which is scheduled to start on January 11, according to former Indian cricketer Kiran More. Notably, Jaiswal was partnered with either Shubman Gill or Ruturaj Gaikwad when Rohit was out, but now that the captain is back in the starting lineup, things have gotten more tricky at the opening position.
According to More, Jaiswal deserves a chance at the opener, as he has performed admirably in the game’s shortest version. Though he acknowledged Shubman’s skill, he thought the right-hand and left-hand combo would be ideal for the national squad.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has given some quite remarkable performances.
I vote for Yashasvi Jaiswal, as the combo is left-to-right. He speaks about fours and sixes from the first ball and acts aggressively. Although Shubman Gill is undoubtedly a talented player, in the T20 format, I will bat with a left and right combo. I will definitely accompany Yashasvi. Sports18 cited More as stating.
Supported Rinku Singh and Tilak Varma in the starting lineup
In 2023, Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh both performed admirably for the national squad. Tilak scored 310 runs in 15 games during the previous year, but Rinku has demonstrated in the recent past that he can win a match. The pair received support from More, who referred to them as Indian cricket’s future.
“Tilak and Rinku both, as Tilak Varma is a skilled player. Tilak Varma is a 360-degree player who bats similarly to Rinku. More said, “I think it’s important that we consider Tilak and Rinku’s futures as well.
However, the addition of Virat and Rohit would strengthen India’s batting lineup. Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah have been granted a rest ahead of the five-match Test series against England, which starts on January 25. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya have been ruled out of the series.
