Yashasvi Jaiswal had a big chance. A strong innings could have shifted the talk about India’s ODI future.
With selectors watching and competition rising, this was the ideal chance to make a big impression.
Jaiswal scored only 4 runs against Afghanistan before getting out. He got a start, but couldn’t make an impact.
A big score could have improved his chances and increased competition for India’s top-order spots.
Every ODI is like a trial for the future. Missing big scores now could make reaching 2027 even harder.
India’s bench is full of talent. With such tough competition, even one missed chance stands out.
Jaiswal still has youth on his side and more chances ahead. But with each missed opportunity, the pressure grows, and the next one might feel even more important.
