Madness of Indian Cricket, we always had the players, its just a matter if they were selected.

 

Always been a fan of Iyer.

Kohli did his best to crush any new talent. Pant was given step motherly treatment, Gill was kept on the bench for frustratingly long period of time, Iyer got discarded, etc. Commercially unviable players like Kedar Jadhav were his favorite.

Reverse jinx? Since then, he has hit 2 50s and 2 100s. Peaked at the right time

1 May 2023 — Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Monday named Kedar Jadhav as replacement for David Willey for the remainder of the TATA Indian Premier League

This will go down as one of biggest fail threads in ICF history.

 

Thread coming from someone like @Gollum makes it even more disastrous.

I think Iyer will be tested against Aussie pace battery who can ball bouncers at will.

He struggles against short ball and that is fact. OP said nothing wrong, "career ending" was a bit of exaggeration but he will find it tough to cement his place if he can't rectify it specially in test matches.

[gattaca]

Iyer and KL has been biggest improvements for us. KL especially with keeping and reviews and he has been spot on. The middle order after yuvraj and Raina has been vacant for 10 years.

[Gollum]

In my defence I was one of the few backers of Iyer on this forum, used to defend him when others here mocked his short ball weakness, me and @Lone Wolf but credit to LW, he held his nerve better. I got frustrated with the same pattern of his dismissals in the 1st 4-5 games here and the rantman side of me emerged, something I have suppressed for so long 

 

I was also one of the few consistent backers of KL, me and @Jimmy Cliff. He tested my patience and I started calling him Kela but thankfully didn't open a thread to rant against him.

 

Both doing well so far, great for Indian cricket 

 

@gattaca bro, I am an ok judge of players , for instance I started rating Steve Smith highly even from 2013...me and @maniac , even others like Ashwin, Ishant, Jaddu, Saha (I must be his biggest fan here!!!!) when they were under fire.....also never joined the Chahal hype train when he was having a good run in 2017-18. But one thing maniac bro does is he doesn't get flustered when the players he backs do badly, that I have to learn from garu.

The struggle against short ball in ODIs is not a big issue. In tests I can understand. But you can only improve if you play more. He doesn’t get to awkward position with short balls. He takes them on  and gets out some times with his high back lift he does have time. I would give him more time in tests and he should be good.
