'If Yashasvi Jaiswal doesn't play now, it makes no difference at all' - Ajinkya Rahane on India's playing XI changes in 3rd ODI vs West Indies

Ahead of the final fixture in the ongoing three-match series against the Caribbean side, the visiting team has already captured an unassailable two-nil advantage. Looking toward the upcoming one-day global World Cup cycle, veteran batter Ajinkya Rahane has shared his perspective on potential lineup adjustments.

While supporters have voiced a desire to see backup opener Yashasvi Jaiswal get a chance in the starting eleven, Rahane argued that prioritizing playing time for Mohammed Siraj and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy holds greater importance. According to his assessment, the batting lineup remains stable enough that leaving Jaiswal on the bench for the upcoming match would not cause any disruption.
