"Yashasvi Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Shubman Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 World Cup Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament.

In-Form Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube Set For Bumper Reward From BCCI: Report

The young Indian duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube are set to be rewarded for their exemplary performances. While Jaiswal is gradually becoming an all-format player for the Indian team, Dube has done enough in the shortest format to become a central figure in the Indian T20I team. The duo's names weren't part of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)'s list when the central contracts were drawn in March last year, but they are closer to getting a spot this time around, as per a report.

"Unfair If You Don't Take Him": Aakash Chopra On India Star's T20 World Cup 2024 Selection

Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra said on Sunday that swashbuckling opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is undroppable from Team India at the moment and it would be unfair if he is not included in the squad for the ICC T20 World Cup this year in the West Indies and the USA. Jaiswal's fine run in T20I cricket continued as an explosive half-century by the southpaw helped India secure a series win against Afghanistan in the second T20I at Indore. Speaking to JioCinema following India's win, Chopra said that Jaiswal is now above Shubman Gill in the pecking order in T20Is.

The MS Dhoni 'Advice' That Turned Shivam Dube Into A Star Performer

Seen as the bonafide six-hitter in the Indian team, Shivam Dube, reaffirmed his credentials for T20 World Cup 2024 selection, mesmerising fand and experts with his twin half-centuries in the first two T20Is against Afghanistan. One of the biggest hitters when the spinners are in operation, Dube blazed away to scintillating fifties in the first two T20 Internationals against Afghanistan, making a fairly good spin attack look pedestrian with his power-hitting. Dube also credited MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings for his heroics in the shortest, but what exactly was the mantra he was given?

How Virat Kohli's "Small Chats" Enabled Yashasvi Jaiswal's 34-ball 68 In 2nd T20I vs Afghanistan

Talented Yashasvi Jaiswal is clear about his role in the Indian batting line-up and said he was just trying to give his team a flying start with a good strike rate in the second T20I against Afghanistan. Jaiswal's strokeful 68 off 34 balls at the top of the order and Shivam Dube's 63 not out off 32 balls helped India register a six-wicket series-clinching win as the hosts easily chased down the target of 173 with 26 balls to spare. "I have been told to go and express myself and I was trying to do that," Jaiswal said at the post-match conference on Sunday night.

Watch: Yashasvi Jaiswal Wins Incredible Sprint Race To Run Out Afghanistan Star In 2nd T20I

Yashasvi effected one of the rare modes of run-outs during India's second T20I against Afghanistan in Indore on Sunday. While a batter getting runout is quite a common scene in the field of cricket, it is rare to see both the batter and the fielder engaging in a sprint race towards the stumps during the dismissal. The latter case happened when Jaiswal and Afghanistan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi both ran at the non-striker's end with full might the Indian star winning the race and running his opponent out.

Backed to open alongside skipper Rohit Sharma in the second T20I against Afghanistan on Sunday, Yashasvi Jaiswal made quite a statement with his 34-ball 68 in Indore. The promising youngster said it was all thanks to the "go out and express yourself" brief from the Indian team management, especially the captain. The 22-year-old's strokeful knock at the top of the order and Shivam Dube's 63 not out off 32 balls, helped India register a six-wicket series-clinching win here on Sunday as the hosts easily chased down the target of 173 with 26 balls to spare.
