Aakash Chopra, a former Indian cricket team batter, has expressed concern over Yashasvi Jaiswal's performances being overlooked in IPL 2026. Jaiswal has scored 306 runs in nine matches, significantly contributing to the Rajasthan Royals' success. However, he has been overshadowed by his opening partner, 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has amassed 400 runs with a remarkable strike rate above 238. Chopra highlighted Jaiswal's impressive statistics over the past three years, including his role in the T20 World Cup 2024 winning team, yet he has not been selected for the national team since then. Jaiswal's absence from recent T20I selections, including the Asia Cup, raises questions about his future in international cricket. Chopra emphasized that despite Jaiswal's strong IPL performance, he remains outside the conversation for national selection, urging for recognition of his contributions.
