Shreyas Iyer Indian Team: Indian team’s star batsman Shreyas Iyer has not been made a part of Team India for the first Test match against Bangladesh. Iyer is already out of BCCI’s central contract. Now he has suffered a double blow. He had scored a half-century for India-D in the Duleep Trophy, but the selectors did not pay attention to him and he could not make a place in the team.
Young players took their place in Team India
Shreyas Iyer made his debut for the Indian team against New Zealand in the year 2021. Then he scored a century in the first innings and a half-century in the second innings. But Iyer has been struggling with very poor form in Test cricket for some time now. He failed to register a single half-century in his last 12 innings. In place of Shreyas Iyer, young players like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel are currently performing well in the Indian team and these players impressed everyone with their performance against England. Both these players have got a chance in the series against Bangladesh.
Runs will have to be scored consistently in domestic cricket
Shreyas Iyer played in the first two Test matches against England. After this, he was dropped from the playing eleven for the next three matches. Since then, he has been trying hard to get into the Test team. Now that he has not got a place in the team, he will have to score runs consistently in domestic cricket and attract the attention of the selectors. His place in the ODI format is in danger. He was part of Team India in the ODI against Sri Lanka. But he failed to perform well.
Such has been the career of Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer has scored 811 runs in 24 innings of 14 Test matches for the Indian team at an average of 36.96, which includes one century and five half-centuries. Apart from this, Iyer has scored 2421 runs in 62 ODIs and 1104 runs in 51 T20 International matches.
