Yashasvi Jaiswal had scored a century in India’s last ODI match, for which he also received the Player of the Match award. Despite this, he may be out of the ODI team against New Zealand. India vs New Zealand 3 match ODI series will start from January 11, for which the team has not been announced yet.
Yashasvi Jaiswal had scored a century in the third ODI against South Africa played in Visakhapatnam. He scored 116 runs in 121 balls, in which he hit 2 sixes and 12 fours. Then why is it difficult for him to get a place in the next series? The reason behind this is Shubman Gill!
Gill’s return makes Jaiswal’s place difficult
Shubman Gill was injured in the Test series against South Africa, after which he had to be ruled out of the entire ODI series. He made a comeback from the T20 series, although his performance in it was not good. Gill is not a part of the T20 World Cup and the T20 series against New Zealand, but the ODI captain will return from the ODI series against New Zealand.
Shubman Gill starts the innings with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli comes at number three. In such a situation, replacing Yashasvi Jaiswal will be difficult. Jaiswal has scored 171 runs in 4 ODI matches played for India, which includes a century.
26-year-old Gill was appointed Test and ODI captain by BCCI this year. Gill has scored 2818 runs for India in 58 ODI matches with a strike rate of 99.22. He has scored 8 centuries and 15 half-centuries in ODIs.
Gill and Jaiswal as openers
Shubhman Gill has scored 2552 runs in 53 ODI matches for India as an opener, in which there are 7 centuries and 14 half-centuries. His highest score is 208 runs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 171 runs in 4 ODI matches played for India as an opener. In the last match, he played his biggest ODI innings, he scored an unbeaten 116 runs.
