    some silly strokes attempted esp.  those jabs to third man ..  

    Lot more improvement needed . Seems no good pull or hook  at his disposal .

    Atleast one should look not like getting out easily in these type of pitches and get singles / 2 s .

     Looked too risky ..

Bats like a Hack but still can improve his game especially in the modern era of lois where flat pitches are the order of the day

Yes bats like a hack. But I agree, let's give him more time. Anyway there are series vs SA, Eng, Aus.

Iyer has all the ingredients to be a gun ODI player in the modern version of the game.

I still don’t know what’s wrong with his technique? His back lift and stance is fine in my opinion, red herrings , no issues

 

we will see gaps in technique when plays real pace , plays on fast tracks or seaming tracks . Then we will see . Otherwise it’s pure guess and just wanting to see all bats stand and move like Dravid 

Huge back lift causes trouble in fast pitches and against geneuin quicks who are accurate.

Funny enough looked better at dharmasal on worse pitch 

 

early days . Maybe will learn a lot from today and improve due to it , often happens with young players . Sometimes have Dips and comeback well cos of it . Despite all kept run rate going and is electric runner between wickets . Needs a good run 

 

but today pandey looked much better then iyer no doubts

Maybe . But many greats had massive back lifts 

 

Lara and ponting are 2

Plays across the line far too often as well. On flat tracks its not a problem. But will be in trouble when there is even a slight movement.

 

Apart from the technical issues, out of nowhere he plays shots in the air and when it does not work, looks foolish. Very much like rohit sharma in that case.

These are different matters. Across line shots , rash shots...  my point was high back lift is not issue as many great players did this

High backlift is defenitely not a bad technique. Its only a choice. Batsmen who often plays attacking shots opt for high backlift. That helps them to impart more power into shots. Low back lift is good for defensive shots.
