India’s batting setup in ODIs has drawn attention once again with selector Kotak addressing the situation surrounding Jaiswal.

Kotak’s Clear Message on Selection

Kotak stated directly that the team has not been unfair to Jaiswal. He emphasised that the young batter simply needs to wait for his opportunity.

The comment comes as Jaiswal continues to remain on the sidelines despite his performances in the limited chances he has received.

Jaiswal’s ODI Record So Far

Jaiswal has featured in six ODIs. His numbers in those matches have been described as superb, yet he has had to bide his time for further opportunities.

• Six ODIs played
• Superb batting numbers recorded
• Continued wait for regular spot

The top three positions in India’s ODI batting order remain locked, which has restricted immediate openings for Jaiswal.

Why the Wait Continues

With the top order settled, Jaiswal’s path back into the playing XI depends on future developments. Kotak’s words underline the need for patience from the batter.

We have not been unfair to Jaiswal, he needs to wait for his opportunity

This statement from Kotak summarises the official stance on the matter.

Impact on Jaiswal’s Position

The current scenario leaves Jaiswal in a holding pattern. His strong showings in the six ODIs have not yet translated into a permanent place in the top order.

Indian fans following the ODI setup will note that the locked top three continues to shape selection choices in the format.

Kotak’s remarks aim to provide clarity on why Jaiswal has not been rushed into the side despite his returns.
