Unfair if Jaiswal misses out on T20 World Cup, say Chopra and Raina

Listen to Story Aakash Chopra and Suresh Raina have claimed that Yashasvi Jaiswal is certainly going for the T20 World Cup 2024 after India's win over Afghanistan in the second T20I. Jaiswal delivered a scintillating performance against Afghanistan in the second T20I match held in Indore. His explosive batting was instrumental in .

Jaiswal's innings were marked by stormy half centuries alongside Shivam Dube, as they chased down Afghanistan's challenging target of 173 runs with remarkable ease. The left handed batsman showcased his prowess by smashing a rapid 68 off just 34 balls, an innings embellished with six towering sixes that sent the crowd into a frenzy.

His aggressive approach from the outset set the tone for India's chase, ensuring the team reached the target comfortably with 26 balls to spare. Speaking to JioCinema, Chopra said it would be unfair if the southpaw isn't taken for the T20 World Cup. The former cricketer also feels Jaiswal has gone beyond Gill in the pecking order.

Chopra feels the batting style will remain the same like in 2022 if Jaiswal isn't taken. "Yashasvi is going. Again, the way he is batting. You will feel it would unfair if you did not take him. Sometimes you are undroppable, meaning he is selectable,that is why he is here making runs. Now he has gone beyond Gill.

But now you will not be able to touch him." "You should not even try for it it because you need something like this while batting. Otherwise, it will be the same as 2022 again and again everything will be the same, the style of playing will be the same and only the year has changed," said Chopra.

Raina praised Jaiswal's fearless attitude and feels that the opener will carry on playing with the same intent during the World Cup as well. "His work ethic is very good, he has disciplined character, more than that he is not afraid of the first ball, he will go and will show intent the same way in the T20 World Cup..

The good news is that we have already toured the West Indies and have already scored a hundred in a test match there," said Raina..
