The Indian team had a terrible outing in the recently concluded World Test Championship Final 2023, losing the game against Australia at the Oval in London. Post the poor performances, many senior Indian cricketers have come under the radar, facing criticisms both from fans and cricket pundits. Going ahead is the West Indies tour coming up for the Indian team, and reportedly a lot of new faces are set to don the blue jersey this time.
Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer also spoke about the same and said Yashasvi Jaiswal is a serious talent and he deserves a chance on the West Indies tour.
"India will have to play fearless cricket. Especially in white-ball cricket, you will have to give chances to guys who are fearless because the game is changing now and if India have to win trophies, they will have to adopt that approach," Jaffer said in a chat on Sportskeeda.
"In white-ball cricket, if we talk about especially T20 cricket, I feel Yashasvi Jaiswal is again one of them. Rinku Singh has been brilliant."
"Jitesh Sharma - Rishabh Pant is currently not there. So Jitesh Sharma could be that guy to replace him, somebody who can bat at No. 5 or No. 6. Sanju Samson could probably come in 50 overs. I feel India will have to try these names."
Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Jitesh Sharma had a great IPL 2023 and all of these players have done exceptionally well for their respective franchises. Talking specially about Jaiswal’s run, the left-hand batter played for Rajasthan Royals and made 625 runs at a strike rate of 164 in the cash-rich league 2023. Rinku and Jitesh on the other hand showed their finishing finesse in the IPL 2023.
