Overview

  • Former India opener Aakash Chopra said it is a travesty that Yashasvi Jaiswal is effectively restricted to Tests and argued he should play all three formats.
  • Chopra expects Jaiswal to play the two home Tests against West Indies and to travel with India’s ODI squad for the October tour of Australia.
  • He predicted the left-hander would force his way into India’s 15 for the 2026 T20 World Cup after the scheduled block of 15 T20Is.
  • Jaiswal’s T20I record stands at 723 runs in 23 matches at a 164.31 strike rate with a 36.15 average, while he has featured in just one ODI.
  • For the Asia Cup, selectors chose Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma at the top with Jaiswal only on standby, a situation Chopra discussed as personal opinion without inside information.
