“On the basis of a good IPL season, he can come back to the team” – Aakash Chopra said about Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer and Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter) Many cricketers have a good chance to improve their career in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Players can prove their ability in the world’s biggest T-20 league. In this Mahakumbh of cricket, many players have confirmed their place in Team India by performing brilliantly. At the same time, the players who are dropped from the Indian team also return to the team after performing well in the IPL. Something similar can happen with cricketer Shreyas Iyer in the upcoming IPL season. Iyer has been in and out of the Indian dressing room for some time now. Even for the upcoming T-20 World Cup, his place in Team India is not considered confirmed. Now former Team India cricketer Akash Chopra has given his opinion on this matter. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Shreyas Iyer Aakash Chopra believes that IPL can prove to be a game-changer for the Kolkata Knight Riders captain to stake his claim in the T20I team. They said that, “Shreyas Iyer – You are out of the T20I list at the moment. However, you can bounce back on the back of a great IPL. If he performs well, scores more than 550 runs, which he probably will, will anyone ignore him? Then you will say that he should be kept in the team because he is a powerful player. At this point, he’s out of that loop. At some stage, he may come back, but for him, it is extremely important to have a good IPL. This is a wonderful opportunity.” KKR has many talents who are capable of making a place in the Indian team. One such player is Suyyash Sharma. The spinner took wickets at an impressive economy rate of 8.23 in 11 matches in IPL 2023. Looking at his wicket-taking ability, it seems that only Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine were ahead of him in terms of wickets. The former cricketer said, “I see a big opportunity for Suyyash Sharma this season. Last time was his first season and he impressed a lot. “However, it will be interesting to see how he utilizes that opportunity in the second season.”
