Let us tell you that Shreyas Iyer has not been included in the Indian team for the five-match Test series against England. Although the visiting team lost the first Test, the batsmen performed well with the bat. The Indian team scored 471 runs in the first innings and 364 runs in the second innings.
There is no chance of Shreyas Iyer’s number coming now – Aakash Chopra
In a video shared on the YouTube channel, when Aakash Chopra was asked if Shreyas should have been selected in the Test series against England, the former opener said, No, sir. There is no problem with batting in any case, and his number will not come right now. I mean it will not come immediately. The number can come anytime, because others have not got a chance.
He said, if you think about it, Karun Nair has just played. You are not able to give Sarfaraz Khan a chance. Dhruv Jurel is sitting out. So when the players who are already there are not getting a full chance, how will Shreyas’ number come? So there is no chance of Shreyas Iyer’s number coming right now.
Chopra further said, yes, I know, he had a very good first class season, IPL was also good, led the team to victory and all this is good, white ball cricket, but Test cricket, especially away from home, his time will come, but I think it will not come now. He will have to wait a little more.
