Shreyas Iyer: "I am just waiting for my chance."

he cannot even handle NZ A bowlers properly. once they discovered bouncer barrage against him, he has done poorly. he may have an outside chance in T20s but not ODIs.

They said the same thing about Shreyas Iyer but he has played some good knocks. Suryakumar Yadav should be tried in LOIs. If he fails, he fails. But you won't know without trying.

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Two good innings in a row. That too in a chase. He's got great hitting ability but also gave away his wicket. But it's still way better than Rayudu who'd rather quietly take singles and stay not out and let the other guy take all the risk.

The last ODI against Aussies and this T20 win due to Iyer taking pressure and dong finishers role successfully, will also releive Kohli the batsman as he now knows there is someone who can take team to victories even if he is out. Kohli can also play more freely given how things are turning out in last few matches. Even the batsmen coming after Iyer know that they have a match-winner at other end. It just boosts the confidence and morale within the batting lineup.

Add one more innings by Iyer which played significant role in win. 3 quality knocks in two weeks time.

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

First century. Possibly could've come 2 years earlier if given a longer rope in 2018.

We are blaming Kohli for being impatient. Turns out some of the fans are also impatient. Gets beaten a couple of balls, a maiden over we already start judging a player.  Dhoni with that lunging technique has scored over 10000 runs lol Let us give this guy some chances to establish himself.

Agree he played well under the circumstances...but now after seeing both sides bat , he becomes match ka mujrim 

[ganeshran]

If you score a century less than run a ball (which is fine) but you have to accelerate on the backend which Iyer failed to do.

[RajBan]

We did not lose the match because of Iyer. Iyer can definitely improve further in terms of SR but he did well given the situation he came to bat today when the ball was doing a bit.

 

We did not select our best bowling line-up because the team management have a misplaced faith in Thakur's ability. Thakur may work in T20 at times but in an ODI teams will work him out over the course of 50 overs and target him as per convenience. Add to this we overall had an ordinary performance by Bumrah and Shami and woeful performance by Kuldeep, all three our main strike bowlers kind of put us into backseat. And let's also give some credit to NZ who played without their Frontline bowlers and Williamson and still beat India. We got beaten by NZ A team today to be honest.

^^^ They were two debutants for India and other than Kohli none of the top 5 Indian batsmen  played  played more than 30 odi matches.

 

India was playing their weakest lineup too.

I like how this guy plays alright, but he certainly fancies himself and isn't shy about it:

That attitude sounds good when you're in form, when you're not, well.....

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Got a lot of hate but scored more than ICF darlings Pant and Pandya and at a quicker rate too.

[Majestic]

Bowling attack- Archer, Wood, Jordan

 

Shreyas 67(48)

Rest( Pant, Pandya, KL, VK etc) 55(72)

 

LOL

His weaknesses against pace are a bit overblown. He scored mainly against pace today. If he is weak against pace then we have no batsmen against pace at all.

Pandya struggled more than Iyer did.

pandya won you a T20 series in Australia.

Iyer even on his best day wont do that.

Iyer/pandey are players suited primarily to ODI.

Iyer would never play for this england t20 side,niether should he for India.

Sky deserves it more and he has already proven it,its a travesty iyer is playing above someone like Sky in our t20 setup.

Iyer scored 88 off 38 against Pat Cummins, Shivam Mavi, Nagarkoti etc. He absolutely can win series on his best days.

On a midget Sharjah ground Where random hitters were smoking it.  As soon as Big grounds came he was sucked

Not saying he is poor but Kolli & Iyer both in same team is too much.  If you add Dhawan then its worse.

In a span of last 1 year, Shreyas has played these T20s knocks for India:-

 

1. 58 off 29 balls vs NZ in NZ( MOM)

2. Match winning 12*(5) vs Aus in Aus

3. 67(47) vs ENG yesterday

 

That is three really top bowling sides. None of them are Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh type teams at whom the likes of Dinesh Karthik, Vijay Shankar, Babar Azam, Kedhar Jadhav and Ambati Rayudu feast on.

T20 World Cup will be played on midget grounds in India, not MCG.

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Made a case for himself in T20s too. 200+ runs in 3 matches.
