Kotak says Jaiswal must wait for opportunity behind Rohit and Gill

India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak made it clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal won't open the first ODI against West Indies. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill stay the first-choice pair.

Kotak pointed to the depth in the top order and told Jaiswal he must keep scoring and stay ready. It's not about fairness, he stressed, just a numbers game.

Jaiswal's last ODI innings came in June against Afghanistan, where he made a hundred. Unless an injury or planned rest creates a gap, he waits.
