He should surely find a place in the white ball format immediately.
Considering his temperament I’m sure he will mature into being an asset for Red ball cricket as well.@BCCI should not waste time on this.
Congratulations Jaiswal bhai ICT mein selection hone wali hai

Sir please select him in Indian team. Now is the high time we should move forward from Rohit Sharma, K L Rahul and even Kohli. I support Kohli but we need to win this world cup and also T20 World Cup next year.
