The time has come for Yashasvi Jaiswal to get his debut in the shortest format of the game. The prolific youngster will feature for the Men in Blue in the crucial IND vs WI 3rd T20I. He has replaced Ishan Kishan in the Playing XI. But it was certainly not the debut that the youngster will remember after he got dismissed for scoring just 1 run.
With the series on the line, Hardik Pandya and Rahul Dravid decided to bring in a change in the batting lineup. Jaiswal who has been excellent after making his Test debut in the same series, is keen to showcase his mark in the quickest format of the game.
Set to chase 160, Yashasvi opened proceedings with Shubman Gill. Jaiswal opened his account on the first ball after taking a single run. But he was dismissed 2 balls later after the youngster went to go for the maximum but ended up giving a catch to Alzarri Joseph.
The writing was on the wall for quite some time. But after India went 2-0 down in the series, Hardik Pandya and Co were in for a change at the opening slot. Yashasvi Jaiswal who was eyeing for his debut in T20I finally gets his chance in the sun.
Ishan Kishan who was far from his best form has been sent to the bench and in his place comes the 21-year-old Rajasthan Royals opener.
