If he steals the limelight and sponsors from Virat then you know what's gonna happen. Virushka is too powerful.

He hits sixers effortlessly

The kid has great hand eye, unorthodox technique and major power. Could be a Steve smith figure for India in the way that he confuses bowlers. Always good to have one of those in your side who confuses opposition- bit like VVS was with his wristiness- could hit exactly same ball through mid off and mid on

This guy is 'De Villers' minus the Pull Shot.

 

If he develops the pull shot, he will be simply unstoppable.

[Ajju]

He will be semi Abd+steve smith

[nitinbwj]

He is a clean clean striker and hits huge sixes.

Dube can also hit the big ones and he has the growing confidence. 

[vvvslaxman]

He is trademarking that inside out sixes over extra cover. It is just dismissive.

Dube's style and even his walking and posture on the batting pitch reminds me of Yuvi. Not sure if he copied him growing up.

Even the sixes over long-on to spinners is pretty good to watch. Let's see how he carries on. Dude obviously has some talent.

     I think no one was saying that Iyer should not be given chances . The fact that there is an apparent weakness against quality short bowling and he was getting out  to them without any counter strategies . You can have a weakness but you should not get out to that tactic and should have the ability to rotate strike and get way . 

All of Steve , Ganguly , Sehwag did not give their wickets  and cashed on other deliveries . 

B'lore match was the first time he changed his stance , opened up the off side and tried attacking shots other than hook. Thats what he should just continue and in the mean time perfect pull shots , as the next attempt by pacers is to aim at his rib cage and bodyline attack to prevent him his shots on off side and if can unleash controlled pull shots on the on side along with his present off side play , surely he will  make bowlers think hard !

There is no need to even play the hook. Just wait & prey on other deliveries. 

He is not playing Tests yet, so he should be fine. A bowler can bowl only one short ball above the shoulder in a white ball game and Iyer for sure has the game to counter that. Not many players around the world are good against short pitch bowling and we saw how the English players struggled against Johnson when he was bowling at 145-150 and was banging it in. 

 

Iyer needs to work on it if he wants to play in Tests but for white ball formats he is okay. Raina had a very good career in LOI's despite this weakness.
