Ajinkya Rahane’s Message to Yashasvi Jaiswal
India’s vice-captain, Ajinkya Rahane, has a straightforward message for the nation’s new number three ahead of the initial Test against West Indies. Although there has been no official announcement yet on who will occupy the significant position in the Dominica Test, it is likely that Yashasvi Jaiswal will receive the nod in the absence of Cheteswar Pujara. In the pre-match press conference, Rahane indicated that it is an exceptional chance for someone to make a mark.
Opportunity for Someone to Shine
There is a great opportunity for whoever will be stepping in for Pujara. I am not certain who will be batting at number three, but whoever it is, I am sure they will do well. All the players in the squad have a lot of experience and they have been performing well lately.
Chance for Virat Kohli to Rejoin Fab 4
Additionally, the two-day practice match saw Jaiswal score a fifty while opening the batting with Rohit Sharma. This could be an opportunity for Virat Kohli to rejoin the ‘Fab 4’ without the ‘favourite’ tag.
Conclusion
With the first Test against West Indies fast approaching, Ajinkya Rahane’s message to Yashasvi Jaiswal is clear – it is a chance for someone to make an impact. The squad is full of experienced players, and the two-day practice match saw Jaiswal score a fifty. This could also be an opportunity for Virat Kohli to rejoin the ‘Fab 4’ without the ‘favourite’ tag.
