Ex-Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra on India's T20 World Cup 2024 selection
Former opener of Indian cricket team Aakash Chopra said on Sunday that swashbuckling opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is undroppable from Team India at the moment, and it would be unfair if he were not included in the squad for the ICC T20 World Cup this year in the West Indies and the USA. Jaiswal's fine run in T20I cricket continued as an explosive half-century by the southpaw helped India secure a series win against Afghanistan in the second T20I at Indore. While speaking following India's win, Chopra said that Jaiswal is now above Shubman Gill in the pecking order in T20Is.
Chopra said, "Yashasvi is going. Again, the way he is batting. You will feel it would be unfair if you did not take him. Sometimes you are undroppable, meaning he is selectable. That is why he is here, making runs. Now he has gone beyond (Shubman) Gill. But now you will not be able to touch him.”
