3 reasons why Yashasvi Jaiswal should be selected as an extra opener for Champions Trophy 2025

Yashasvi Jaiswal has been phenomenal as an opener in the red-ball cricket for India. He was also included in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad but didn’t get a chance to play in any game. If we talk about IPL, he’s an outstanding batter, who has scored tons of runs in the past few years. This proves that it’s time for him to get a chance in the ODIs as well and an ICC event would be the perfect time to do so considering the amount of experience he has. 

Here are the three reasons why Yashasvi Jaiswal should be selected for Champions Trophy 2025:

1. Yashasvi Jaiswal is in red-hot form

Yashasvi Jaiswal is in amazing form after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. He smashed the best bowlers in the world and is ready to kick-start his white-ball career for India. Plus, he has played in domestic tournaments as well where he has tons of runs as well. 

2. Intent in batting

Jaiswal has a great knowledge of the game and it’s always evident by the way he plays. He doesn’t believe in wasting time and keeps on striking the ball whenever they are in the slot. His intent in batting is just great and he is a nightmare for the bowlers. 

3. Maintain left-right combination

The Indian team has two fixed openers, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. But having Jaiswal around will give them the lefty combination will be good and if in case they require any batter, Jaiswal might turn out to be the saviour. Hence, he deserves a place in the squad.
