NEW DELHI: India batter Shreyas Iyer drew criticism from former Pakistan batter Basit Ali after he did not make any impression within the first innings of the Duleep Trophy match.
The India D captain’s transfer of popping out to bat with sun shades backfired badly as he was dismissed for a duck after dealing with simply seven deliveries towards India A.
Basit instructed that Iyer missed an opportunity to make a major contribution to the staff’s complete, stating that he “ought to’ve scored 100-200 runs.”
“As a cricketer, it saddens me to see him.In case you are getting out in entrance, your focus is not within the sport. And particularly the red-ball sport. He has scored two centuries within the World Cup, he is an IPL-winning captain, he ought to’ve scored 100-200 runs right here. Iyer is so fortunate that Rahane and Pujara aren’t enjoying in Duleep Trophy,” stated Basit on his YouTube channel.
Former Pakistani cricketer expressed doubts about Iyer’s starvation for Check cricket. He identified that Iyer appears to lack the will and dedication required for the longer format of the sport.
“Iyer does not have the starvation for red-ball cricket anymore. He is solely hungry for boundaries. You need to prioritise it. If he is considering he’s much like Virat Kohli after hitting two centuries in World Cup, no, it does not occur that manner. I am sorry to Indians who like him, but when I used to be India’s selector, Iyer would not have been within the Duleep Trophy in any respect. He is not respecting the sport,” he added.
Iyer has been excluded from the Indian Check squad following an prolonged interval of subpar performances. He has failed to achieve the 50-run mark in his earlier 13 outings within the Check format.
This persistent lack of serious scores in the end resulted in his omission from the staff after the conclusion of the second Check match towards England, which befell earlier this 12 months.
