Shreyas Iyer will not get a chance (Photo-PTI)
Team India did not give a chance to Shreyas Iyer despite Ishan Kishan being unfit in the fourth T20. Many questions are being raised on this decision of Team India. From social media to cricket experts are surprised as to why Iyer was not given a chance. If Shreyas Iyer is not to be fielded then why has he been kept in the T20 squad? Aakash Chopra even said that if Shreyas Iyer is not to be given a chance then keep some young player with the team so that he can get some benefit. Let us tell you why Shreyas Iyer was not given a place in the playing eleven?
The biggest reason for not fielding Shreyas Iyer
The biggest reason for not fielding Shreyas Iyer is his not being in the T20 squad. Since Shreyas Iyer is not in the T20 World Cup team, chances are being given to those players who are in the squad or who have a chance to play in the T20 World Cup after someone gets injured. It is impossible for Iyer to play the T20 World Cup because Tilak Verma is fully fit and the team already has his option at number three.
It is necessary to give game time to T20 World Cup players
Team India wants that the players who have been selected in the T20 World Cup team should be given maximum game time. Like in Vizag T20, the Indian team gave a chance to Arshdeep Singh in place of Ishan Kishan. The team came with one less batsman but the idea of the team here was to put more pressure on the other batsmen and give them more time to play the ball. However, the Indian team’s batsmen failed in the second ODI.
Team India’s defeat
After winning the first three T20s, Team India lost the fourth T20 match. The Indian team had a target of 216 runs, in response to which it was reduced to 165 runs. Abhishek Sharma was out on the first ball. Captain Suryakumar Yadav also settled quickly. Hardik Pandya could also score only 2 runs. Shivam Dubey won the hearts of the fans by playing an inning of 65 runs in 23 balls but he could not win the match. After the failure of the top order, the failure of the middle order batsmen is a big problem for Team India.
