Jaiswal Slightly Ahead Of Gill For Spot In India’s Asia Cup Squad, Says Chopra
The Ajit Agarkar: Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes Yashasvi Jaiswal has a slight edge over Shubman Gill in the race for a place in India’s squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, citing the left-handed batter’s game being suited more towards T20 game.
The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee are most likely to meet on August 19 to pick India’s squad for the Asia Cup, to be held from September 9-28 in the UAE. Both Gill and Jaiswal last played a T20I more than a year ago, with Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson becoming the first-choice opening pair.
“It is important that you keep an opener with you because, while counting the previous 15-member squad, there was no third opener in the Indian team. We never thought that if Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson would lose their form, then who would open. But then, you have to keep a third opener for the World Cup.”
