Shreyas Iyer’s performance was not so good in the first two tests.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced its team for the remaining three Tests of the five-match Test series being played against England. Shreyas Iyer has not got a place in the Indian team for the remaining three tests.
Let us tell you, Shreyas Iyer’s performance was not so good in the first two tests. In the first Test played in Hyderabad, he scored 35 runs in the first innings while in the second innings he was out after scoring 13 runs. Not only this, he scored 27 runs and 29 runs in the second test played in Visakhapatnam. Shreyas Iyer’s performance has not been so good in Test cricket for some time. In 2023, he has scored only 187 runs at an average of 17.
However, Shreyas Iyer’s performance in the earlier Tests has been quite good. Today we will tell you about three main reasons why removing Shreyas Iyer from the Indian team was not the right decision.
1- Shreyas Iyer was slowly gaining his rhythm
Shreyas Iyer was seen facing a lot of trouble in this series against the fast bowlers whereas he batted very well against the spinners. Let us tell you, in 2023, Shreyas Iyer’s average against spinners was 14, whereas this year it has increased to above 30.
Shreyas Iyer was slowly gaining his rhythm. In this series being played against England, he was out because of playing aggressive shots.
