India’s white-ball blind spot: Where does Yashasvi Jaiswal fit?

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s omission from India’s ODI squad for the Afghanistan series has slipped under the radar. Despite scoring an unbeaten century in his last ODI appearance and playing a key role in reshaping India’s aggressive T20 batting approach after the 2022 T20 World Cup, the 24-year-old has quietly gone out of contention in both formats. With no spot in the India A squad either, Jaiswal finds himself in an unusual limbo despite being regarded as an all-format player and one of India’s brightest batting talents.
