India’s ODI captain Shubman Gill said Yashasvi Jaiswal may have to miss out in the ODI team when everyone is available for selection. Jaiswal was added to India’s squad for Afghanistan ODIs after Virat Kohli was ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Jaiswal, who was dismissed cheaply after scoring four runs in the second game, scored a stunning knock of 110 runs off 86 balls in the third ODI against Afghanistan at Chennai on Saturday. The left-hander smashed 14 fours and three sixes in his blistering knock as he batted at the top of his game.
The southpaw got off to a brisk start and went on to complete his second ODI century. He added 170 runs off 137 balls with veteran batter Rohit Sharma for the opening alliance.
“I mean, it is a good kind of headache having all the players that are performing, and I think the squad will be announced tomorrow or in the next couple of days. So, we will see the squad and then we will have the best XI to put out anyway. I mean, we will see where everyone’s fitness is. If everyone is fit, like I said, we will see who is in the squad and, based on the squad, we will try to make the best XI possible,” Gill said in the post-match press conference.
“Honestly, we all know he is a phenomenal player. And it’s not easy for any player. If all the players are available, he is the unfortunate one who sometimes misses out. And because Kohli was not available in the series, he had the opportunity, he got a couple of games, and he played really well today. So hopefully he will continue to perform and he will continue to keep grabbing the chances,” he said.
Jaiswal has not been picked for England ODIs.
