Abhishek Sharma has been the talk of the town ever since his incredible run in the Asia Cup 2025, where he won the Player of the Tournament award. His fearless stroke play and calm temperament under pressure reminded many of a young Rohit Sharma.

Aakash Chopra said in a video posted on his YouTube channel, “It’s just a question of when, not if. Yashasvi will play across formats very soon. He’s already impressed in T20Is and scored a century too. He’s been consistent in the IPL and was part of the T20 World Cup squad. After that, Shubman Gill moved ahead due to leadership responsibilities.”

The commentator even said that once the left-handed opener starts opening regularly in ODIs alongside the new captain, Shubman Gill, fans might not feel the absence of Rohit Sharma when the Hitman eventually retires from international cricket.
Chopra added, “Gill became part of the Asia Cup side, but Yashasvi’s turn will come. You can’t keep him waiting for long. There’s talk about Abhishek Sharma’s inclusion in ODIs, but I think Yashasvi should get his chance first. If he opens with Gill, people might not even miss Rohit.”
Yashasvi Jaiswal set to become all-format opener, predicts Aakash Chopra
Looking ahead, the cricket expert predicted that by the time the 2026 T20 World Cup arrives, Yashasvi Jaiswal could become an all-format regular for India. Even Chopra reckoned that the Mumbaikar might push Gill to No. 3, with Abhishek Sharma potentially joining him at the top in the T20I line-up.
The commentator signed off by saying, “Whenever Yashasvi gets an opportunity, he makes the most of it. Once he cements his spot, you won’t miss others. By the next World Cup, he’ll likely be a regular starter in the XI.”
