sarcastic Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 S Iyer is ready to bat wherever his team requires him to. If Kohli takes his number 3 spot, S Iyer may be pushed down to 5 to have KL Rahul at 4. Khota 1

Excellent attitude, young player has to make himself undroppable by performing.He will get his chances and I just hope he makes most out of those. Frustrated and sarcastic 2
zen Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Focus on performance and giving your best, not batting positions! Frustrated 1
Global.Baba Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 This is exactly my point, can't make excuses like that's the way he plays or he can play this way only etc. if someone has to hoick they have to hoick, if someone has to dig in and block they have to dig in block. period. Frustrated 1
Khota Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 3,4 and 5 are interchangable. 1 and 2 are different. Frustrated and Sgattick10 2
Stan AF Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Good attitude. Make the most of your chances and let performances speak for you.
ShoonyaSifar Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Showing the mirror to his captain fool who said yesterday that he will go back to batting at number 3. Imagine Iyer’s plight. This captain fool shuffles him around at his whim. In his short career, in LOIs, he’s batted 7 innings at no. 3 and no. 4 each and 11 innings at no. 5. In last 10 innings, the sequence is number 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 5, 5. Some way to groom young players tweaker, SK_IH, Unstable Joe and 3 others 6
Khota Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 It is not a big deal. Iyer will do well as he is well prepared for this.
Ankit_sharma03 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Bolte sab hai but lack of clarity of role n position has affected everyone till date Cricwala, nevada and raki05 1 2

raki05 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Don't worry guys after ipl Rayadu will take the no: 4 position already wo bat ko tel pila raha hai.. nevada and sriniwu 2

Yuvi, Dhoni, Raina all dropped one spot to allow Kohli at 4. Now, Kohli/Dhawan/Rohit can't drop places to accomodate KL/Shreyas? It's all about team balance and giving chance to young players higher up order. We badly need one opener to be out & out aggressor - maybe try KL & Dhawan open, Rohit 3, Kohli 4?

Only shows how insecure and self centered these guys are. The experimentation is only for youngsters. Captain and his friends are firmly secure in their place. Why can't Dhawan bat at 3/4 and Rahul open or Iyer given a run of 10 matches at 3? TM knows that it will show any good player who bats in top 3 is capable of scoring runs. Rahul has scored 2 100s and 3 50s in 10 innings as an opener from the WC to now, 556 runs@51, SR of 81. SR can improve but he's shown he can bat as an opener if he gets a proper run.
Ajju Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Superb sreyas number doesnt matter only performance count even Dhoni used to come @ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 position and had a good sucess no one ever dare to do
kohli Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Before 2015 anybody in middle order can bat anywhere. Now most of player one dimensional so they cant bat outside there zone Edited January 17, 2020 by kohli
Sandeep99 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 But the fans are crying at your technique against pace bowlers. I hope Iyer can work on that rather than babbling statements to media.
Sandeep99 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Anyway this statement sounds like it came out of some brat or tracer bullet's mouth. Justifying their incompetence in the form of Iyer.

SR can improve but he's shown he can bat as an opener if he gets a proper run. It flows from captain, who calls all the shots in this set up. Let me hazard a guess by saying If Rohit were LOI captain, we wld see more trust put in young players. In IPL, Rohit has moved himself down the order in interest of his team, and shown he can bat at 4/5 too with good SR - Kohli has been far more reluctant and has stuck to top 3 batting slots, despite his team struggling more than MI with balance. Would Rohit be open to batting at No. 4 in the Kohli-Shastri set up? Maybe not - because he knows how fickle-minded Kohli can be, and that a few failures at that slot cld mean even his position coming under threat! Likewise, we can grudge Rohit getting a chance in tests, but all professional players are built like that - in a strong, professional set-up, Rohit would have been told he's only seen as an LOI specialist, made captain of ODI and T20 teams, and a youngster like Easwaran/Gill given a chance to open alongside Mayank in tests.
The Realist Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Looks rather mediocre. Best place to bat may be in the stands. nevada 1
