Yuvraj says India must pick Abhishek, Ishan for ODIs
The Story in Brief
Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has said India are not doing justice to the talent of Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi by failing to pick them regularly in ODI cricket. He made the remark on the sidelines of the launch of Protocol 32 in Mumbai. Yuvraj, a longtime mentor to Abhishek, stressed he would love to see the left-hander in 50-over cricket.
While Ishan Kishan has played 32 ODIs, Abhishek and Sooryavanshi are yet to debut in the format. India Today notes Abhishek hit a 35-ball T20I century against New Zealand and Sooryavanshi set the T20I powerplay record alongside Abhishek. Yuvraj acknowledged that established players make the squad hard to break into. India's five-match ODI series against New Zealand starts 4 November.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets carry the same PTI copy with identical quotes, making the coverage uniform wire reporting. The only structural difference is that India Today adds context absent from the other two: Ishan Kishan’s 32 existing ODI caps, the Wellington T20I powerplay record, Sooryavanshi having become India’s youngest debutant, and the upcoming five-match ODI series starting 4 November. This additional context gives India Today’s version practical follow-through for a reader, while the other outlets present the news as a standalone remark. The balanced reading is that Yuvraj’s call for young batters is reported without pushback or endorsement across the board, and the only meaningful variation is how much series-specific detail each outlet appends.
