Former India opener Aakash Chopra has made a striking prediction: Yashasvi Jaiswal, when paired with Shubman Gill at the top of the order in ODIs, might make fans forget about Rohit Sharma. This thought-provoking commentary emerges as India gears up to face Australia in a three-match ODI series starting October 19th. Jaiswal’s ascent in Indian cricket has been remarkable, highlighted by a stellar 175 in a recent Test performance, proving his mettle as a top-order batter. While his ODI career is in its nascent stages, Chopra is convinced that Jaiswal’s time to shine in 50-over cricket is fast approaching. He points to Jaiswal’s T20I success and his dominance in the IPL as indicators of his readiness for all formats. Chopra suggests that Jaiswal’s inherent talent and aggressive intent could revolutionize India’s opening strategy. With Shubman Gill set to lead in ODIs, the potential combination with Jaiswal represents a significant shift and a promising future for the Indian team. Chopra also foresees a spectacular IPL season for Jaiswal, expecting him to score heavily.
