Yashasvi or Gill? Former India opener picks better player for ongoing series against West Indies

Former India opener batsman Wasim Jaffer has closely watched India’s tour of West Indies and has time and again given valuable tips for the players to perform better in the ongoing bilateral series. After the conclusion of the test and ODI series with India’s victory, the Indian team is set to face West Indies in the fourth and fifth T20I. 

Currently, Hardik Pandya’s squad has managed to win Only one match in the three T20I matches, and in order to win the series and maintain their decade-old record, the Indian Cricket team will have to win both consecutive T20I matches which are scheduled to take place on 12th and 13th August at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Florida, USA. 

Wasim Jaffer believes Yashasvi Jaiswal is more of an attacking batsman while Shubman Gill has a little defensive style of batting as an opening batter for India. He also suggested Arshdeep Singh to look for a particular strategy instead of trying to do many things without proper implementation.

“We have spoken about how important it is for the openers to get off to a good start in the powerplay and give players like Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma a good platform. But they won’t be worried about it as they will know they need to show intent straightaway,” said Wasim Jaffer 

“Jaiswal will bat with aggressive intent, and I feel Shubman Gill is being a bit too defensive. If he gets 2-3 good shots straightaway then that could make a huge difference,” added Wasim Jaffer 

“There needs to be a bit of homework done. This is a high-scoring ground and execution needs to be spot-on. It seems like Arshdeep is trying too many things but he is not being able to execute it. So even if he can stop 2-3 boundaries at crucial stages, it could prove to make a massive difference in the game. So he will need to execute well,” concluded Wasim Jaffer.
