FROM the time the Border-Gavaskar Trophy came to an end, one of the debates about the Indian team was how long before Yashasvi Jaiswal made the ODI team. While it did not take long, as the youngster was included in the squad for the England ODIs and Champions Trophy, he is still a standby. For, India have their captain Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Shubman Gill at the top.

Although there is no one questioning Rohit's place in the ODI team at this point, Gill has come under the lens. So much that arguments are made about how Jaiswal should take Gill's place at the top given the latter's poor run of form. There is no question that Gill had a horror series in Australia but in the ODI format, he has been the best opener in the last couple of years.
