IND Vs ENG: Legendary experts, fiercely criticized on Shreyas Iyer’s exclusion

Delhi: There was a shocking revelation after India’s victory in the first Test match played between India and England in Nagpur. Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer, who scored a brilliant half -century while batting at number 4, told after the match that he was not in the team for this match. He only got a chance to play at the last minute due to Virat Kohli’s injury.

Akash Chopra criticized

After the match, Iyer told that he was informed by captain Rohit Sharma only one day before the match that Kohli will not be able to play due to knee swelling. Cricket experts were surprised by this revelation. Star sports panelists Kevin Pietersen and Parthiv Patel as well as cricket analyst Akash Chopra also appeared angry.

Akash Chopra wrote on social media, “Iyer would not have been given a place in the playing XI if Kohli would have fit! There was a plan to sit out the highest run player at number 4 in the 2023 World Cup? And if Kohli had played, then on which number was he going to bat? “

Parthiv Patel also got angry

Parthiv Patel, expressing his opinion on the incident, said that it seems that the Indian team management is watching Yashasvi Jaiswal as an opener and wants to feed Shubman Gill in the middle order. He said on Star Sports, “Iyer has an average of 60 in the last 10 ODIs, and Gill also. In such a situation, it was expected that Iyer would definitely be in the team. But, now it seems that India wants to send Jaiswal and Rohit to the opening. This can be a difficult decision for team management. “

Now if Virat Kohli gets fit for the next match, then it will be interesting to see if the Indian team will remove Shreyas Iyer again or not. The next match will be played in Cuttack on Sunday.
