Virender Sehwag says Yashasvi Jaiswal should inherit India’s ODI opening spot after Rohit Sharma retires. Both outlets report that Sehwag’s view is based on Jaiswal’s current impact in the format, including a century against South Africa. While acknowledging that Jaiswal has performed strongly, the reports also note that he faces competition for a permanent place in the opening pair. Sehwag and former India batter Manoj Tiwary both suggest that Jaiswal is well placed to lead the next phase of India’s ODI batting lineup as senior players move out of the team after next year’s World Cup. The articles frame the discussion as a projection of how India’s opening batting roles could evolve, rather than an immediate change to the current lineup.
