Yashasvi Jaiswal Set to Make Test Debut Against West Indies

Yashasvi Jaiswal is on the brink of making his Test debut against the West Indies after putting on a brilliant performance in the practice match yesterday, scoring 54 runs off 76 balls. The left-hander opened the innings with Rohit Sharma and made the most of his opportunity. He is likely to take the number three spot in the absence of Cheteshwar Pujara.

Shubman Gill to Remain at the Top

Shubman Gill is being viewed as an all-rounder at the top of the order and is thus expected to stay there. He has had experience playing at number three and lower during his Under-19 days, even registering a double century against the West Indies at number four. However, with the way he has started off in Test cricket at the top, it would be unfair to move him to the number three position.

Jaiswal to Fill the Number Three Spot

Jaiswal will be the one to take the number three spot, with Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane occupying number four and five respectively. Although Jaiswal is traditionally an opener, the selectors are looking at him as a long-term prospect.

Conclusion

Yashasvi Jaiswal is all set to make his Test debut against the West Indies, and he will be taking the number three spot in the batting order, with Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli holding the top two spots and Ajinkya Rahane at number five. The selectors are viewing Jaiswal as a long-term prospect, and it will be interesting to see how he performs in the upcoming match.
