Team India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has added a luxurious Mercedes GLE SUV to his collection after delivering a match-winning century in the recently concluded ODI series against Afghanistan. The young batter celebrated India’s dominant 3-0 series victory by purchasing the premium SUV, which is valued at over ₹1 crore.
Jaiswal was seen taking delivery of the new vehicle alongside his parents in Mumbai. According to automobile industry reports, the ex-showroom price of the Mercedes GLE ranges between ₹1 crore and ₹1.16 crore, depending on the selected variant.
Century Against Afghanistan Caps Off Memorable Series
The 24-year-old left-handed batter played a crucial role in India’s ODI series against Afghanistan. Initially brought into the squad as a replacement for the injured Virat Kohli, Jaiswal featured in the final two matches of the series.
After scoring just four runs in the second ODI, Jaiswal bounced back in spectacular fashion during the third and final ODI. He smashed an unbeaten 110 off just 86 balls, helping India chase down Afghanistan’s target comfortably and complete a comprehensive series whitewash.
The century was another reminder of Jaiswal’s growing stature in international cricket. Remarkably, it was his second ODI hundred in his last three appearances for India.
Aakash Chopra Questions Jaiswal’s Omission from England ODI Squad
Despite his excellent form, Jaiswal was not included in India’s squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against England. Former India cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra expressed surprise over the decision, highlighting the opener’s consistent performances whenever given an opportunity.
Chopra pointed out that Jaiswal has repeatedly scored runs but continues to miss out on selection due to intense competition within the Indian batting lineup.
With Virat Kohli expected to return after recovering from a hamstring injury, Jaiswal’s place in the squad became difficult despite his recent success. However, Chopra believes the youngster has done little wrong and deserves more opportunities in the ODI format.
Impressive ODI Numbers Continue to Rise
Jaiswal’s ODI record continues to impress. In just six innings, he has accumulated 285 runs at an outstanding average of 71.25. His tally already includes two centuries, underlining his ability to perform at the highest level.
While his omission from the England ODI squad has sparked debate among fans and experts, Jaiswal’s recent performances suggest he remains firmly in India’s long-term plans as the team builds toward future ICC tournaments.
What’s Next for Yashasvi Jaiswal?
Although he misses out on the England ODI series for now, Jaiswal’s consistent run-scoring and adaptability across formats continue to strengthen his case for regular selection. With age on his side and confidence at an all-time high, the young opener will be eager to maintain his momentum and force his way back into India’s ODI setup.
