Vengsarkar backs Shubman Gill’s exclusion but Yashasvi Jaiswal’s absence finds him baffled: ‘Unfortunate he is left out’ ByHT Sports Desk Updated on: Dec 25, 2025 05:09 pm IST Read this news in brief form Share Via Copy Link Vengsarkar raised concern over Yashasvi Jaiswal’s absence, saying his consistent runs across formats make it hard to justify leaving out a proven match-winner. 1983 World Cup-winning star Dilip Vengsarkar has expressed surprise at Yashasvi Jaiswal’s omission from India’s T20 World Cup squad, pointing to the left-hander’s strong returns whenever he has featured in white-ball cricket and his consistent domestic performances over recent seasons. Despite delivering match-winning knocks in the IPL and showing the ability to dominate attacks at the top, Jaiswal has struggled to secure a run of games in T20Is, something that appears to have worked against him in the selection race.
