Shreyas Iyer might have been the third biggest buy at the IPL auction but to fit into India’s T20 combination, he would need to showcase all-round skills as that’s what the team is looking for in the middle-order slot, skipper Rohit Sharma has said.
Wednesday was a mixed bag for Shreyas. Around evening, KKR unveiled the worst kept secret in the IPL universe by announcing their R12.25 crore recruit as franchise captain for 2022. By 6:30 pm, however, it was clear that the former Delhi Capitals and new KKR captain isn’t fitting into the specialist batter category in Team India for the T20 game against West Indies.
