Indian batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has said Yashasvi Jaiswal has not been treated unfairly despite being unable to break into the ODI XI. Kotak told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram on September 26 that the left-handed opener must wait for his opportunity because of intense competition for places. Jaiswal has superb numbers in the six ODIs he has played, but India's top three batting slots are locked.
Kotak compared the situation to having three good wicketkeepers in a squad. He said Jaiswal should keep working hard. On Ravindra Jadeja, Kotak said the all-rounder remains in the scheme of things for next year's World Cup. Kotak praised Jadeja's batting, bowling, fielding and experience, and said senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jadeja bring value to the team.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both cricinfo.com and The Hindu report the same Kotak press conference with identical framing: a straight account of his remarks. Neither outlet challenges or questions Kotak's assertion that Jaiswal is not being treated unfairly. The coverage omits Jaiswal's own view or any independent assessment of selection policy. The story highlights the depth in Indian batting as a problem of plenty. The next concrete indicator will be whether Jaiswal gets a game in the ongoing West Indies series.
