This player can ruin Shreyas Iyer’s career in a jiffy, Rahul Dravid does not give him a chance due to this fear
The Indian cricket team has to play a 3-match T20 series against Afghanistan from January 11 to 17 in January 2024. Team India squad has been announced for this series. Shreyas Iyer, a middle-order batsman who performed brilliantly in the World Cup 2023, has not got a place in the team. After Iyer did not get a place, questions have arisen about his playing the T20 World Cup. All kinds of discussions are going on about Iyer on social media.
Shreyas Iyer dropped or given a break?
Shreyas Iyer is a good batsman but there has always been a lack of consistency in his performance. He also flopped badly in the Test series against South Africa and that is why he has not been selected for the Afghan T20 series. Now fans on social media are divided regarding this decision. Some say that Iyer has had to pay the price for his poor performance and he has been dropped, while some believe that he has been given rest.
This player should get a place
Along with Shreyas Iyer, senior players like Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah are also not part of the Afghan series. Hanuma Vihari could have been given a chance in place of Ravindra Jadeja. Vihari has the necessary ability and talent for T20 cricket but he never got the same opportunities in Team India as other players have got or are getting.
Can do wonders with ball and bat
Team India has considered Hanuma Vihari as a test cricketer. This is the reason why till now he has been able to play only 16 Tests in which his performance has been good and apart from scoring 839 runs with 5 half-centuries, 1 century, he has also taken 5 wickets. But he has not got a chance to debut in ODI and T20. If this 30 year old player is given a chance, he will not only strengthen the Indian middle-order batting but will also bring depth to the bowling. Also, it can become a threat to many players including Shreyas Iyer.
