Yashasvi Jaiswal has made a strong impression in international cricket, particularly in the longest format, but a regular place in India's white-ball setup continues to elude him.
Despite producing impressive numbers in his limited ODI appearances, the left-handed opener has struggled to break into the first-choice combination.
Former India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has now spoken about the batter's situation, sharing his thoughts on the selection calls and recalling an instance that highlighted Jaiswal's remarkable confidence.
Ryan ten Doeschate Backs Yashasvi Jaiswal For India ODIs
Jaiswal's numbers in ODI cricket make his limited opportunities an interesting talking point. The Rajasthan Royals batter has scored 285 runs in six appearances, averaging 71.25 and registering two centuries.
However, despite making a promising start to his ODI career, he has not managed to establish himself in India's regular white-ball plans.
Speaking on the TalkSport Cricket Podcast, ten Doeschate expressed his surprise at the opener's continued absence from the ODI setup. He also highlighted Yashasvi Jaiswal's hunger for runs and how deeply he takes it when he misses out on a bigger score.
"He is so hungry to do well. You know, even when he gets runs but doesn't get a big one, the genuine disappointment in leaving runs out there, you can see it really hurts him. He is also, just touching on the ODI point, he is desperate to play ODI cricket as well. He doesn't get into the team, which is - it's crazy," said Doeschate.

The former Netherlands all-rounder went a step further, describing the situation as ridiculous. However, he clarified that his role in India's coaching setup was not centred on batting, meaning he did not work directly with Jaiswal on a regular basis. Despite that, he had observed the youngster's work ethic and determination.
"It's ridiculous. There are some players we were chatting about yesterday who aren't in the team. But also just to be clear, you know, I wasn't the batting coach, so I didn't have that direct access to players in terms of working that closely with them.
It was so I'd chip in here and there and maybe complement what the batting coach and the head coach were saying. But yeah, certainly very, very hungry, works very, very hard. One of those strange situations where he's actually not a great netter," he added.
Jaiswal is expected to join the senior Indian squad after the assignment for the two-match Test series against New Zealand, scheduled to begin on November 19.
