Shreyas Iyer was an average of 68.57 in Ranji Trophy’s last season and even received 233 points with the highest first class score.
Social media seems to be sure that Shreyas Iyer’s not elected in India’s test staff for England is nothing but a crime. A list of solid performances is circulating. Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali Cup, Champions Cup and now the Indian Premier League (IPL) received. Of course, it was a great 9 months for Shreyas.
Format
Nobody can deny that he is a prominent artist. But pay attention to how four of these five tournaments are white balls? Everyone seems to include Shreyas’ success in shorter and shorter formats in the longest and harder format.
It is clear that innovation prejudice comes to the fore. This should not be. The Shreyas score works at IPL and you should have no effect on a test series selection in the UK to take the Kings of Punjab to playoffs after 10 years.
Holes in Ranji Trophy Record
Shreyas succeeded in the Ranji Cup. 480 running at 68.57 is great. This is only in 7 inning. Double face. However, a deeper look reveals that Shreyas’s record has some holes. 2 hundred (142 and 233) against some weak teams such as Maharashtra and Odisha. If we lift these two scores, Shreyas 5 took only 105 rounds in Inning.
This shows that Shreyas’ registration is not so great against better opposition. And we’re talking about the Range Cup. Yeah, the level is high, but nowhere near the test jack. However, there are more reasons for being ignored.
Short ball and technique
We know that Shreyas is dealing with short ball problems. But because he was back, we saw that he was playing only in Dubai and India. The first overseas test has not yet arrived. However, the selections were still not 100% sure of the red ball skill. They are sold on the ability to fight the ball in the UK, or a tendency to test a jack in general, who is guilty in the UK.
Competition
All this is enough, but then you take into account that there is a good competition. 863 Karun Nair was elected. Even Sarfaraz Khan, a part of the woman in Australia, was not elected. How does Shreyas jump somehow?
“Shreyas had a good diary series and played well as well as native, but there is no room for the test jack right now.” This is what Agarkar says about the exclusion of Shreyas and 100% correct. The time will definitely come, but not right now.
