Yashashvi Jaiswal missed the India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I even after Rahul Dravid announced that he would open with Rohit Sharma in Mohali.

Although Indian Cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid confirmed in the pre-match press conference that Rohit Sharma and Yashashvi Jaiswal will open the batting for India, Jaiswal was not in the playing XI in the India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I in Mohali.

It was quite shocking for all the fans to take that announcement. Since, everyone was expecting to see Jasiwal in the playing XI for India.

After the toss, BCCI confirmed that Yashashvi Jaiswal had a sore right groin, so he had to miss the India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I in Mohali.
