Yashasvi Jaiswal Replaces Virat Kohli for Afghanistan ODI Series | Sports-Games
- India's BCCI announced on Saturday that Yashasvi Jaiswal will replace Virat Kohli in the squad for the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, with Kohli ruled out due to injury.
- Kohli sustained a hamstring injury last week while playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League final against Gujarat Titans, though he had been included in the squad last month.
- Selection panel chairman Ajit Agarkar said Kohli "might be fit for that England one-day series," while Jaiswal averaged 30.5 runs across 16 matches for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.
- India hosts Afghanistan for three ODIs on June 13, 17, and 20 at venues in Dharamsala, Lucknow, and Chennai, with the team facing a significant gap left by Kohli's absence.
- Following the Afghanistan series, India will travel to England for a three-match ODI series in July, where Jaiswal aims to improve his performance during international competition.
