Newsindia Live, Digital Desk: Cricket Analysis: Discussions about the selection of the Indian cricket team for the Asia Cup have intensified and experts are giving their own opinion. In this episode, former Indian cricketer and current commentator Akash Chopra has given a big statement. He believes that young player Yashasvi Jaiswal as an opener has overtaken Shubman Gill, looking at the current form. Akash Chopra said in his analysis that if the team is selected for the Asia Cup today, he would like to see Yashasvi Jaiswal opening with Rohit Sharma. He praised Yashasvi’s recent form, especially against the West Indies. Chopra believes that Yashasvi has strengthened his claim by performing brilliantly in both Test and T-Twenty formats. On the other hand, Shubman Gill’s form has been a matter of concern in recent times. On the West Indies tour, he failed to play a big innings in Test, ODI and T-Twenty, any format. Akash Chopra, while emphasizing this, said that Shubman Gill will have to improve his performance, otherwise he may be in danger in his place. He said that the team management will give importance to the existing form and at this time Yashaswi’s upper hand is looking heavy. However, Chopra also clarified that Shubman Gill is a talented player and has full potential to return. He said that Gill will continue to get opportunities, but he will have to return to form soon. This debate has created an interesting dilemma for the selectors before the Asia Cup, where they will have to balance between form and talent.
