After Shreyas’ injury, Team India tried several batsmen at number four
New Delhi. The Indian cricket team under the leadership of Rohit Sharma (Shreyas Iyer) is busy preparing for the Asia Cup. Team India will begin their campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan. All eyes will be on Team India’s middle order in this tournament. After Shreyas Iyer’s injury, the Indian team management tried several batsmen at number four but none of the batsmen could cement their place. But once again Shreyas Iyer has returned to the team after recovering from injury and is ready to solve the number four conundrum.
After recovering from injury, Shreyas has returned to the squad for the Asia Cup. He has already scored a lot of runs at this number, but will he be able to regain his old rhythm after the injury? It will be interesting to see. Talking about statistics, Shreyas has scored 805 runs in 20 innings with the help of 2 centuries and 5 half-centuries for Team India which is ranked fourth in ODI cricket.

Shreyas has not been declared fit by the NCA

Shreyas played his last match this year against Australia in the fourth match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in February-March. After this, he was ruled out of the 16th edition of the IPL and the World Test Championship due to a back problem.
