Jaiswal Targets Future India Captaincy After ODI Call-Up for Australia

His declaration follows a first ODI selection that reflects selectors’ shift toward younger leadership under new ODI captain Shubman Gill.

Overview

  • Yashasvi Jaiswal said on the Raj Shamani podcast that his long-term goal is to captain India and that he is working daily to grow as a leader.
  • He has been named in India’s ODI squad for the Australia tour, with reports suggesting he may not make the immediate playing XI.
  • Jaiswal said he has overhauled his fitness routine to improve longevity and skills as he pursues multi-format relevance.
  • The statement comes in a changing leadership landscape after selectors appointed Shubman Gill as ODI captain, replacing Rohit Sharma.
  • A Test regular with hundreds in every series since debut and a double century against England, Jaiswal still has limited white-ball exposure, including just one ODI appearance to date.
