Shubhman Gill: Team India's young batsman Shubman Gill has failed to prove his usefulness in the last few series. Be it the T20 series played against Zimbabwe, or the T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka, runs are not coming from Gill's bat.

However, he has got plenty of opportunities. In the pursuit of giving more opportunities to this 24-year-old player, the Indian team management did injustice to another promising player. Today we are going to talk about the same young batsman, whose statistics while opening the innings are better than Shubman Gill. Let us know in detail.

This player is a better opener than Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill made his ODI debut against New Zealand on 31 January 2019. Since then, he has played a total of 47 matches for India. In this, the right-handed batsman has scored 2328 runs at an average of 58.20. During this, 6 centuries and 13 half-centuries have also come from his bat. However, during the recent ODI series against Sri Lanka, this player's performance and his intent were criticized a lot.

In all three matches, he scored 16, 35 and 6 runs. Shubman was not able to bat freely in this entire series. While Rohit Sharma, standing at the other end, was thrashing the bowlers in a stormy manner. In such a situation, fans on social media not only criticized this Punjab player, but also missed Yashasvi Jaiswal a lot. Let us tell you that this left-handed batsman was kept away from the ODI series.

Demand to play Yashasvi Jaiswal in ODI

Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has played 9 Tests and 23 T20 matches for Team India, is still waiting for his debut in ODI International. However, the 22-year-old player has proved his talent in the other two formats. So far in Tests, the left-handed batsman has scored 1028 runs at an average of 68.53.

In T20, Yashasvi has scored 723 runs at a strike rate of 164.31. In such a situation, now the time has come that the Indian team management and selectors should try the Mumbai batsman in the 50-over format as well.
