IND Vs Eng: The Indian cricket team’s England tour (IND Vs Eng) is always in the news, but this time the name of a promising player in the headlines that everyone expected to see in Team India’s playing XI. Despite spectacular form, superb records on foreign pitches and continuous performance, this player was shown the way out of the team. It is being told that this player did not get a chance due to the strategic thinking of coach Gautam Gambhir.
Gambhir outs up despite a strong performance
The player we are talking about is none other than Shreyas Iyer. Despite a great performance in domestic cricket, Iyer was kept out of the England tour (IND Vs Eng). In recent times, Shreyas Iyer has won many big titles.
From Ranji Trophy to Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he impressed everyone with his performance. These are all evidence of their good performance in IPL 2024, winning Kolkata Knight Riders and taking Punjab team to the finals in IPL 2025.
Despite this, he was excluded from the ongoing five -Test series between India and England. The decision has raised questions on the priorities of selectors and team management, especially when Iyer is in excellent position in both form-fitness.
Iyer made his mark as the highest run -scorer for Team India in the Champions Trophy. His continuity and condition-the batting made him special in this important tournament, which emerged as an important star on the country’s big stage.
Shreyas Iyer was a perfectly suitable player to play in England’s challenging circumstances. Their technical balance and patience against fast and swing balls make them a strong option for the middle order.
Shreyas Iyer’s Test Career
Talking about Iyer’s Test figures, he got a chance to play a total of 14 matches so far after he made his debut against New Zealand in 2021. In 24 innings he scored 811 runs at an average of 36.86, including 1 century and 5 half -centuries.
Despite these figures, not giving him a chance for the England Test series remains a matter of great confusion in his career. Fans and cricket experts are also surprised by coach Gautam Gambhir and are considering it as injustice to Iyer.
