Grooming Jaiswal and Gill: is India easing out its seniors too soon?

Team India now has eleven competing opening options.

Jaiswal should prepare for red-ball cricket instead of playing first three ODIs.

Selectors prefer Ishan Kishan because versatility suits India’s ODI backup requirements.

Young players cannot guarantee fitness or form for the 2027 World Cup.

Rohit Sharma may be phased out to protect Yashasvi Jaiswal’s prime.
