Shreyas Iyer’s bat has not been working in Test cricket for some time now.
The second match of the two-match Test series between India and England is being played in Visakhapatnam. In this match, Team India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl, which seems to be proving correct so far. Indian opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has confirmed the captain’s decision by completing his century.
However, apart from Jaiswal, no other batsman could do anything special. Team India has lost three wickets so far. India suffered three setbacks in the form of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer. Rohit was shown the way to the pavilion by Shoaib Bashir and Shubman Gill was shown the way to the pavilion by James Anderson. Shreyas Iyer was made his victim by Tom Hartley.
It seemed that Shreyas Iyer was set to play a big innings. But he was out disappointingly. The ball hit the inner edge of his bat and went into the gloves of wicket keeper Ben Fox. Iyer was out after scoring 27 runs. Shreyas Iyer’s performance in Test cricket has not been that good for some time now. Earlier, his performance in the South Africa series was also disappointing.
The Indian team has entered this match with three changes. Kuldeep Yadav has returned to the team. Apart from this, Rajat Patidar and Mukesh Kumar have also been successful in making place in the playing eleven. In the first match of the series held in Hyderabad, India had to face defeat by 28 runs.
In such a situation, Team India is trying to make a comeback by winning this match. Whereas Sarfaraz Khan will have to wait longer for his debut. The English team, which is leading the series 1-0 after winning the Darabad Test, will be eyeing to double its lead here, while Rohit Sharma and Brigade would like to make a comeback in the series.

Can’t see a Test career for Shreyas any longer, unless he is dropped and drastically changes attitude / game. Shubman’s problem can be sorted and age on his side.

Time to say packup to Shreyas Iyer and Shubhman Gill.

Shreyas Iyer fans are the 🤡🤡🤡🤡 I’ve ever seen. Will whine if he hits a couple of 6 and goes underground whenever he fails which is all the time. #INDvsENGTest

Even if the ball does not bounce, there is a problem.— A True Nationalist 🇮🇳 (@AreOhSambha) February 2, 2024
Good, but Rajat’s ability > Shreyas’ – he looks more assured at the crease.
Batting is not just about talent, also about assurance.

Looks like Shreyas Iyer should be rested for another couple of years. Not a fit in the test team.
