The prospect of Yashasvi Jaiswal opening the batting in ODIs alongside Shubman Gill has been strongly endorsed by former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra. Chopra believes this young duo possesses the talent to succeed so effectively that fans might not even miss the presence of veteran Rohit Sharma. This discussion is gaining traction ahead of India’s upcoming ODI series against Australia, set to commence on October 19th. Jaiswal has been turning heads with his consistent performances, notably a significant century in a recent Test match, demonstrating his capability to build long innings. Although he has fewer opportunities in the shorter formats of international cricket, his prowess in domestic T20s and the IPL is undeniable. Chopra anticipates Jaiswal will be integrated into all formats soon, highlighting his exceptional form and ambition. He posits that the dynamic duo of Gill, now an ODI captain, and Jaiswal could become the future of India’s ODI opening partnership, bringing a fresh energy to the team. Chopra further anticipates a breakout IPL season for Jaiswal, forecasting an exceptional run-scoring tally.
