Shreyas Iyer has been in the team for a long time now and he has been the top middle order batsmen for India since 2019, still whenever he doesn’t perform well in 2–3 innings, critics want him replaced. Not sure how long will he have to prove himself.
Iyer is the highest run scorer for team India in 2022:
Shreyas Iyer is the third fastest Indian batter to score 2000 runs in ODI and 12th fastest batsmen around the world:
Iyer has a hundred on test debut:
He has 12th Highest batting average in ODI’s:
People and even former players find ways to criticize Iyer, he has been targeted consistently for getting out short ball, however no one notices that he plays risky shots on short balls which sometimes losses him his wicket, for the past 2 years it has been established that Iyer can’t play short ball still there isn’t any stat proving that how many times he has got out on short ball. In Shreyas Iyer’s exact words:
Why is Iyer targetted repeatedly and why does he need to prove himself repeatedly?
In the present WC he has played several good knocks and is the 3rd highest run scorer for India and 6th highest run scorer in the cup. He has hit 2 centuries and several 50+ scores. He has presently become the highest run scorer for a No.4 or below in a WC edition. Still I haven’t seen praises flowing in for him as much as they are flowing in for other players like Rohit Sharma, Kohli, Shami, Gill, etc. This is maybe because he has less social media presence or maybe because other players knocks are under shadowing his contributions.
Social media needs to praise him during his good knocks as much as they troll him during his bad patches. We don’t want to create another GG wherein someone performs consistently and someone takes away the limelight for a single shot.
All that we here social media, news channels talk regarding Iyer is “how he hit a six on Dhanashree” or “what was Dhanashree’s reaction on his wicket”, “how did Dhanashree react on his six”, “Why Chahal did not meet Iyer”, etc.
Can’t we praise him instead of this shit posting.
Shreyas Iyer still has a long journey to scale, maybe 2 more world cups depending on his consistency and maybe future Indian captaincy. However right now all that he needs is our support.
