Iyer...technically ...worst indian batsmen to debut for India from last 10 years

[vvvslaxman]

He hasn't reached a stage where teams start having plans against him. When that happens he will perform even worse. 

[chapetmarunga]

give him one more series if he doesnt improve pick someone else.

[jf1gp_1]

Typical turn on this forum. First project him as savior of Indian cricket then label him worst. now that he is in the team give him some rope.

[Number]

Saurabh Tiwary ?

[flamy]

I must say I'm disappointed. I thought he'd do well. His fielding has been a revelation.

[Jamadagni]

Pretty much poor man's Jadhav. 

[Vk1]

I see Sehwag like nonchalance in shreyas Iyer. He is our next superstar.

Tiwary was ugly in his batting, but I liked his temperament in his brief ODI career.

We just can't afford to let him rot away. Despite his ills he has to become a regular atleast for a while. This no 4 conundrum has gone on for way too long and nobody is magically going to appear and solve anything. Let's just hope he works it out somehow ala Ganguly/Yuvi

we don't have odi worldcup for another 3 years. what is the hurry to compromise right now? lets also see other options like Gill at 4 before settling on someone

What will we do when Gill expectedly has a string of failures? Get back Iyer. Or Karthik or Rayudu? All the investment put in for the last year and a half will come to nought. Gill should get a chance only if someone gets injured or Iyer's failures continue for an unbearably long time. Iyer has had a good NZ series(albiet in a lost cause). Just keep backing him and who knows he may turn into someone dependable. 

For Gill to be in the side he has to grab onto the first opportunity he gets and outperform his peers. This is what Kohli did and it earned him a place ahead of Rohit in 2011. Raina edged into the playing 11 ahead of Pathan by sheer performance. No jumping the queue just because you are deemed to be a great talent. I know Gill has been great in domestics but so was Iyer for a long time. 

This wanton merry go round policy with our middle order must stop.

Come the international Cricket and these so called IPL Lions go missing. Rahul looks so Meek and Timid the moment he steps out to play in blues, so does Iyer. These players never instill confidence that they can win a match on their own. They can piggy back with odd performances under the shadows of Rohit, Kohli, Dhawan, but doesn't give you a feeling of a fearless player with "Jigra", who will win matches on their own with their individual brilliance.

[Majestic]

We have backed many mediocre players and also backed many talented players who ended up as failures.

 

Shreyas Iyer hit a brilliant century in an ODI game Vs NZ and he also smashed 59 off 28 balls in one of T20 winning his team a match.It was a successful series for him.

 

I will persist with him, he has flaws against short bowl and that will decide his fate but even Rishabh Pant batted like tailenders many times in LO cricket and that's why he is not even in the squad. The real test begins now as his weakness will be exploited more now that everyone is aware of that.

I was really disappointed to see that kind of dismissal but agree with you, we should persist with Iyer.  

 

On Gill,his power game is yet to develop and can only get a chance as an opener.

Great post.. Totally agree.

The constant chopping and changing is what led to the No.4 connundrum in the WC.

 

Iyer has done well in the limited chances he has got. His dismissal was ugly today, but he needs to get a good run at No.4 for 12-15 months before deciding on what next for him and the position.. Gill is great talent, but this urge to constantly bring new players to replace existing one is unnecessary and to an extent addictive.. I'm pretty sure the same people were pleading for Iyer to be included in the XI when the Rayudus and Karthiks were failing.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Rayudu was worse 

[aditya19]

crap shot to get out..very overrated player

[Adamant]

Sorry but that 59 (28) vs nz was against their reserve bowlers in t20s blundell, southee etc etc. 

If he fails in this series he should be dropped from playing eleven

[Soumo]

Have anyone seen steve Smith's technique?? He looks worse than iyer end of the technique is nothing in limited over game but temparment that's what matters, give the guy some time he will surely improve if he doesn't then change him. There was a time when people were jumping around to get kohli out of the team he was inconsistent as anyone but look at him now. A champion isn't produced overnight it's long process to maximize someone's ability yeah I would've liked kl Rahul to succeed but team didn't show any kind of confidence in him after that sri lanka series for the number four role if Indian cricket was played by the way of icf's keyboard worriers then we would have stopped to pakistan level by now for sure.
