Just before the England T20I, Cheteshwar Pujara’s honest comment has sparked new debate over a batter’s spot in the team.
Pujara believes Shreyas Iyer still has to prove himself at the highest level. He thinks consistency is now more important than potential.
Pujara said on Star Sports, “I have no doubts about Shreyas Iyer as a captain, and he’s done a great job in the IPL. But as a batter, he still has to prove himself at the highest level.”
Despite getting chances, the youngster hasn’t secured his spot in India’s T20 team. With tough competition, every innings counts now.
A good performance against England could quiet critics and boost his chances for a regular spot in India’s T20 XI.
India’s batting lineup is full of talent. One bad game could give another player a chance.
Will Shreyas Iyer prove Pujara wrong with strong performances, or will doubts about his spot continue during the England series?
