ENG vs IND: Hit a century yesterday, today Yashasvi Jaiswal is out of the team… Is injustice happening because of Rohit Sharma?

ENG vs IND ODI Series: Team India’s 15-member squad for the ODI series with England has been announced. In which Virat Kohli’s name is also there. Apart from this, Harshit Rana has also returned. The most surprising thing in the team is the absence of opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Recently, Team India played a 3-match ODI series with Afghanistan, Jaiswal was seen playing in 2 matches of this series and his performance was excellent, despite this, his non-selection in the team is raising a lot of questions. Or we can say that because of Rohit Sharma, it is becoming very difficult for him to make a place in the team.

Why did Jaiswal not get a chance in the team?

Whenever Rohit Sharma is in the ODI team, it is certain that he will be playing and opening. Apart from this, if Virat Kohli is also a part of the team, then captain Shubman Gill opens with Rohit and Virat Kohli comes at number-3. In such a situation, Yashasvi Jaiswal does not get a place in the team because the selectors cannot keep the experienced former captain Rohit Sharma out. Virat Kohli was not a part of the team against Afghanistan, due to which Shubman Gill played at number-3.

In such a situation, Yashasvi Jaiswal also got a chance to open with Rohit in this series. In the match played yesterday on 20th June, Jaiswal batted brilliantly and scored a brilliant century, despite this he was dropped from the team today i.e. the very next day. This is often seen with him in the ODI team.

Which players returned?

Fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana and Axar Patel have also returned to the Indian ODI team for the England tour. Apart from this, Gurnoor Brar has also been included in the team, who had shown amazing bowling against Afghanistan.

How is Team India squad?

Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli*, Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain), KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Axar Patel, Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Gurnoor Brar.
