Yashasvi Jaiswal has been enjoying an extraordinary year, displaying exceptional form in various cricketing formats. His recent performances have earned him the reputation of being in a remarkable “purple patch.” During the red-ball leg of the tour, he demonstrated his readiness for international cricket, leaving a strong impression on selectors and fans alike.

Earlier this year, Jaiswal showcased his exceptional ball-striking ability in the Indian Premier League (IPL). His prowess in the powerplay overs was simply breathtaking, as he launched brutal assaults on the bowlers, setting the tone for his team’s innings. However, what truly set him apart was his ability to adapt his approach as the innings progressed. Once the field restrictions were lifted, he exhibited a matured game by expertly rotating the strike against spinners, showcasing his versatility as a batter.

Notably, Jaiswal’s contributions during the IPL went beyond just impressive individual performances; he played pivotal roles in several match-winning endeavors for his team. These successes further solidified his credentials as a potential match-winner on the international stage.Given his current form and track record, the Indian team management will be seriously considering including Yashasvi Jaiswal in the top order for his T20I debut against the West Indies.

India Predicted XI for 2nd T20I: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan (wk), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya (c), Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar.
