What's your take on this?? 👀
Manoj Tiwary about Yashsvi Jaiswal : “Yashasvi is number one in my list. After the World Cup next year, two players will retire. He can be chosen before, though. But if that doesn’t happen, then definitely after the retirement of those players, the first name will be that of Jaiswal. After that, the names you [the host] have taken, Sai Sudharsan, Ishan Kishan and Devdutt Padikkal. This should be the order,” [Cricbuzz]
Virender Sehwag said : “Yashsvi Jaiswal has come into the ODI team only because someone like Gill or Sharma wasn’t available. It was not like that he got the chance and then he didn't perform. He performed very well when he got the chance. It was not like he was dropped after not performing. He was in the team because someone wasn’t playing. Ishan Kishan is not part of one-day cricket either. He has made a double hundred in ODIs, the fastest. So he is also a player who is in the reckoning. But I would definitely like to see Jaiswal in one-day cricket and T20Is, I mean in all three formats. He is a player who can play all three formats,” [Cricbuzz]
The difference between this and what we've seen in the recent past is "consistent opportunity". You have to give generational talents regular chances if you want them to flourish.
You can't deny him a consistent run and then question his consistency.
Yashasvi Jaiswal in First-Class cricket:
Innings - 25
Runs - 1701
Average - 77.31
Highest Score - 265
Hundreds - 8
Hundred in Ranji Knock-outs, India A, Irani final - The YBJ of Indian cricket.
NO ROOM FOR JAISWAL IN ODIs
Virender Sehwag said “There is no space right now. Shubman Gill is the captain. Rohit Sharma is playing. As soon as Rohit Sharma retires, you will see Jaiswal playing white-ball and one-day cricket as well. Ruturaj Gaikwad might be a competitor of his, though. But if you take three openers, you will definitely see Jaiswal among them,” [Cricbuzz]
