Ye kis angle se allrounder hai

[ungboysj]

Venkatesh iyer bowling is virat kohli level

 

Ise kaun allrounder keh ke team main laya

 

Aise aise raddi players ko mauka mil rha

 

Shaw aur sky ko nhin mil rha jo modern loi batsman hai

 

Kya ho rha

[rkt.india]

V Iyer is a batting alrounder and vo bhi modern loi batsman hai. Give him some space. Don't go behind young players in their second games. His bowling is good enough for a sixth bowler.

[ungboysj]

He should only play if good enough as a batsman

Even kohli can bowl like him

 

 

[Rantzz]

If V Iyer is an all rounder than Suresh Raina was one of Indias best ever all rounder

Lo** ka Alrounder hai 

[Vijy]

kohli could have been a useful bowler. didn't bowl enough.

[Frustrated]

I m afraid V Iyer could be another Shivam Dube in the making.  Batting me bhi dum nahi he.  

Won't last long, I think.     Glad if I m proven wrong though.

One Good IPL season and the guy is representing India in South Africa. by this standard, many players in the past deserved to play for India. The likes of Paul Valthaty, Swapnil Asnodkar, etc deserved chances because they had better IPL seasons than Venky Iyer in the past.

[Majestic]

I always felt it was a bit too early for him. It was not even one full IPL season but just half IPL season and he opened the batting there.

 

It is just a different requirement in Indian setup. 

[putrevus]

There is no such thing called batting allrounder unless you are Kallis class and to extent Stokes.

 

Guys like Iyers and 3D player from Tamil Nadu, I forgot his name, he is another useless guy.

 

Unless they are top order batsmen and can walk into team as batsman , there is no point in picking these bits and pieces players.

4 fielder rule has hindered the part timers in ODI's. You need to be a good part timer like Markram /Root /Jadhav to give those 4-5 overs.

However much we ridicule him, pandya has been the only genuine seam bowling all rounder this country has produced since Kapil

IPL has become the selection metric when it comes to Test, ODI and T20I teams... no first class cricket for two years using covid as a excuse.. this is the tatti result you get, one hit wonder IPL players who do well on flat wickets and small grounds- now we will see the true aukat of IPL quality in the Indian team, bits and pieces players, boring team to watch

Hope he works on his weird batting stance (if possible revert to his previous stance) during this break and comeback strong.

Looking at his bowling he doesn't even seem a potential batting allrounder. More like a batsman who could just roll his arm over for the sake of it. Will be happy to be proven wrong.

Just two matches and the knives are out.. give hima couple of series before discarding him.. he was sensational during the recently concluded Vijay Hazare and deserves the opportunity.

He averages 48 in domestic one day cricket at sr of 105 after 30+ games. So, no, it's not based on just IPL. IPL just brought him into limelight. Regarding Valthaty, Asnodkar, their domestic performances weren't anything to talk about.

V Iyer can walk in the team as a batsman. He mostly played for KKR as a batsman. His bowling is just an outside help. Still bowls -130ish pace. There aren't many domestic batsmen who average 48 at an SR of 105 in List A cricket. People are just talking About IPL ignoring his domestic performances.

I think it was a selfish act on his behalf.

 

The guy can obviously bowl part time and I always felt he didnt so as to preserve his "aura" on the cricket field, ie great batsmen and great fielder. He didnt want to have a facet of the game where he was exposed.

 

Compare that to the Indian side 10-15 years ago, we had SRT, Ganguly, Sehwag, Yuvraj who all could bowl and have even won MoM performances for their bowling alone.
