Shubman Gill breaks silence on Rohit Sharma's ODI future after Yashasvi Jaiswal makes strong case for selection

The same three-match series also saw Ishan Kishan smashing a ton in the second ODI, and the battle for selection is truly heating up. It's no secret that the current head coach, Gautam Gambhir, is a big fan of right-left combinations at the top of the order, and both Yashasvi and Ishan have made a strong case to be included in the squad.

“I mean, it is a good kind of headache having all the players that are performing, and I think the squad will be announced tomorrow or the next couple of days. So, we will see the squad, and then we will have the best XI to put out anyway. I mean, we will see where everyone’s fitness is. If everyone is fit, like I said, we will see who is in the squad, and based on the squad, we will try to make the best XI possible,” Gill told reporters in the post-match press conference.

Jaiswal got out for a low score in the second ODI but answered his critics in style with a century in the third and final match in Chennai. He also shared a 170-run opening stand with Rohit.

“Honestly, we all know he is a phenomenal player. And it’s not easy for any player. If all the players are available, he is the unfortunate one who sometimes misses out. And because Kohli was not available in the series, he had the opportunity; he got a couple of games, and he played really well today," Gill said.

"So hopefully he will continue to perform, and he will continue to keep grabbing the chances,” he added.

Speaking of Gill, he was named the Player of the Series after a fantastic haul of 238 runs in the three-match series, with his best score being 154, which came in the second ODI in Lucknow.
