The Debate Over Where Shubman Gill and Yashavsi Jaiswal Will Bat for India

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made a bold decision to include Yashavsi Jaiswal in the Test team for the West Indies tour. This raises the question of where the southpaw will bat if he is selected in the playing XI. With Cheteshwar Pujara being snubbed from the Test team, the BCCI selectors are looking to Jaiswal to fill the number three position. Most likely, Shubman Gill will remain as an opener alongside Rohit Sharma.

Jaiswal’s Position in the Lineup

Jaiswal has predominantly been an opener in First-Class cricket for Mumbai, and reports from the Indian Express suggest that he will bat at number three. Since Gill has displayed impressive form as an opening batter in all formats, number three is the only spot that Jaiswal can fit in.

Fans’ Reactions to the Decision

Many fans are not happy with the selectors’ choice to place Jaiswal at number three. They feel that Gill should take the spot and Jaiswal should stay at the top of the lineup for his debut Test series.

Conclusion

The decision of where to put Jaiswal and Gill in the batting lineup is a contentious one. While the BCCI has made a bold move in including Jaiswal in the Test team, it remains to be seen how it will play out.
