The Indian cricket team has won the Champions Trophy 2025 title and now all the players will soon be seen playing in the IPL. There was speculation during the Champions Trophy whether Rohit Sharma would retire from ODI cricket or not, but after winning the trophy, he made it clear that he would not retire now. This news is relieved for fans. But an Indian player has been waiting for a return to the ODI team for a long time and now it seems that he will have to wait longer.
Rohit Sharma can also play ODI Cup
Until Rohit Sharma retires, he is very less likely to be out of the team. His next target may be the ODI World Cup to be held in 2027, which he has not yet lost. At present, the Indian team does not have to play any ODI match soon, but when the team plays in this format, Rohit Sharma is being considered to play. It is believed that he will also lead the team. However, Rohit is not retiring from this format, so Yashasvi Jaiswal may have to wait to get a place in the team.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has played only one ODI so far.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has proved himself in T20 and Test cricket. He is continuously playing for India in both these formats and performing brilliantly. However, the doors for him in ODI cricket are yet to open completely. Jaiswal, who has played 19 Tests and 23 T20 matches for India, has played only one ODI so far, in which he scored 15 runs.
Could not reach Champions Trophy
Yashasvi Jaiswal got a chance to play a match in the ODI series against England. After this, when the BCCI announced the Indian team for the Champions Trophy, Jaiswal also got a place in the team. However, he was later dropped from the team and Varun Chakraborty was suddenly included in the team. This decision broke Jaiswal’s dream of playing in the Champions Trophy.
ODI team has not found space yet
In the ODI format, the Indian team still depends on the opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. At number three is an experienced batsman like Virat Kohli, while Shreyas Iyer has confirmed his place at number four. In such a situation, it is becoming difficult for opener Yashasvi Jaiswal to make a place in the team as the opening slot is not empty. It is not possible for Jaiswal to be regular in the ODI team until Rohit Sharma retires. He will currently play for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, where his performance will be very important.
