Is Venkatesh Iyer the future of India's T20I team

[sarcastic]

Amazing striker. Hit sixes at will and does not take lot of balls to start.

[Adamant]

Venkatesh is definitely the better 'Iyer'. 

[zen]

Promising start but also need to see how he comes back once his weaknesses are revealed. 

[LordPrabhzy]

Same way Paul Valthaty was?

[neel roy]

Rich mans Shivam Dube.. 

[Majestic]

Looks a good player. Better than Rana and Triphati.

 

[Ankit_sharma03]

judge him over a considerable amount of time atleast 2 seasons 

 

[coffee_rules]

His name sounds like

 

 

[bharathh]

Started off really well. Hope it's not a flash in the pan. Good on him to change KKR's fortunes with his aggressive batting. Made watching KKR acceptable after a long time!

Was waiting for thread, soon we will see why he should be in India team in place of 2 match flop SKY

[ShoonyaSifar]

Great start for him, has been grabbing every opportunity being given across levels? Can he maintain the for and go onto to have a monster season (300+ runs? If yes, he will be Ruturaj's partner in limited overs leg of the India A tour to SA.

 

Would be lovely to see him bowl at some stage as well? Could easily be groomed as an alternative to Pandya

[Lone Wolf]

I will rate him when he will deliver against the DC attack of Rabada & Nortje both are too hot to handle for left handers. 

Kishan last season while opening thrashed those two that's when I started backing him. 

[ash]

Reminds me of Sunil Narine. Solid base, steady head and hand-eye coordination. But I think he will struggle against good fast bowlers.

Venkatesh is the the ideal Thayir sadham

Shreyas is the mayiru iyer.

 

Only the south Boys would get it.

Agreed. He is no slouch though. Decent first class stats

Paddikal is not suited for t20s IMO, he is in the same mould of slow starters who then end up with 130 strike rate, which we have plenty of 

 

What we need is a blithering batsman in the vein of roy and peak Gayle as X factor which we are lacking 

[GeeGaw]

Leave it to icf brain trust to slobber the knob of the hot commodity at the time.  You idiots never learn.

LOL, yeah every team wants a peak Gayle on their team.  Peak Gayle comes around once every thirty years worldwide.

 

Don't hold your breath waiting for this unicorn's arrival.
