De Villiers gave a big statement regarding Shreyas Iyer Let us tell you that regarding Shreyas Iyer, AB de Villiers said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – I like watching this player (Shreyas Iyer) bat. He is ready to play in the Test cricket series against England with a positive mindset. De Villiers further said- However, what he has said, I do not think there is any truth in it. Whatever situation comes your way, you will only play positive cricket. Test cricket doesn’t work like that. But they have to solve it themselves. But I think they just need to think positive. When he goes to bat, he should think that he is going to play a match-winning innings. But Test cricket does not allow you to bat positively the whole day. You have to adapt to the situation.

“My opinion is different”, AB de Villiers does not want Virat Kohli to open in T20
Virat Kohli has returned to T20I cricket after almost 14 months. Virat Kohli And AB de Villiers (Photo Source: Twitter) Virat Kohli has returned to T20I cricket after about 14 months. He played a useful inning of 29 runs in the second T20 match against Afghanistan in Indore. However, amid discussions about him opening, he came to bat at number 3. Many veterans believe that Kohli should open the innings with Rohit. Now, South African veteran player AB de Villiers has advocated for Virat not to open. He believes that Virat Kohli has a good track record as an opening batsman in T-20 cricket, but still he would not want Kohli to open for India. He also said that Kohli is perfect for number-3 due to his ability to play the role of anchor and build partnerships with middle-order batsmen. ‘Virat batting at number 3 was the biggest threat for us’ Speaking in his YouTube video, de Villiers said, I have a different opinion. For most of my international career, when we played against India, Virat batting at No. 3 was the biggest threat to us. I always felt that he was the pivot of the team in the middle order. De Villiers further said, number-3 is not the middle order, but it is the top order. He is often associated with the middle order. Even with the tail batsmen. It is impossible to play against him. “I am concerned about that position,” he said. However, the figures are not bad. When Virat plays as an opening batsman, his average is 23 and strike rate is 138. When he does not face the first ball and is at the non-striker’s end, he averages 140 and has a strike rate of 173. read this also- Cricket Buzz: Know about the amazing tweet of January 17 which is going viral very fast
