Yashasvi jaiswal captaincy dream: The winds of change have been flowing in Team India for some time. Especially the change of leadership is the most hot issue of this time. After Test cricket, now in the ODI format, the command of Team India has gone to other hands. Veteran batsman Shubman Gill will now captain India in Test and ODI team. Gill has got the opportunity, but almost every player who has made a place in Team India to fulfill this responsibility. In Team India, Gill's junior Yashasvi Jaiswal is among such players who wish to captain and are also preparing themselves for this.
Yashasvi Jaiswal stepped into international cricket just 2 years ago and also made his place in Team India, starting with the most difficult format in it. Now Jaiswal is an important part of the Indian Test team and is one of the selected names already fixed in the playing XI of any match. Now this demand is constantly being made that they should also be made a regular part of ODI and T20 team, for which Jaiswal is not only capable but also entitled. But the dreams of this young batsman are even above this.
In a YouTube podcast, 23 -year -old batsman Jaiswal revealed his wishes and preparations for it. Talking in Raj Shamani Podcast, the left -handed opener said, "I work on myself every day so that I can emerge as a leader. One day I want to be a captain." Jaiswal did not say that he only wants to become the captain of Team India but there is no need to say that the final goal is the same. However, apart from this, he would like to captain the IPL as well.
By the way, this is not the first time when the ambition of this Indian batsman has come out regarding captaincy. A few months ago, Jaiswal left his Mumbai Cricket Association in domestic cricket and joined Goa cricket. Preparations were being made to make him captain here. However, at the last moment, Jaiswal changed his decision.
Not only this, in the IPL 2025 season, there was speculation about the leadership in Rajasthan Royals. Later it was also revealed that a section of the franchise was in favor of making Jaiswal a captain but then Ryan Parag was given this responsibility. During this, rumors of Jaiswal's displeasure were also flown. In such a situation, it is obvious that the desire of Yashasvi is very high and seeing his commitment, it seems that he will fulfill them.
