Shreyas Iyer wasted a big opportunity, did not get over his mistakes, and then his condition worsened.
The last round of Duleep Trophy 2024-25 has started. The match is being played between India B and India D teams in Anantapur. India D is led by star batsman Shreyas Iyer. But he has failed once again in this tournament. Duleep Trophy was a big opportunity for Shreyas Iyer to make a comeback in the Indian Test team, but he has missed all these opportunities so far. Like the first two matches, this time too he could not stay at the crease for long.
Shreyas Iyer did not back off from his mistakes
Shreyas Iyer faced only 5 balls in the first innings of this match against India B. During this, he could not score a single run and got out without opening his account. This is not the first time in Duleep Trophy, in the first innings of the last match also Shreyas Iyer could not open his account. He was criticized a lot then. Actually, he came to bat wearing dark glasses and returned to the pavilion after playing only 7 balls. Usually fielders use sunglasses. But it is very rare to see a batsman batting wearing dark glasses inside a helmet. In such a situation, Iyer was also trolled a lot on social media after getting out.
Iyer's rhythm was not seen in Duleep Trophy.
Shreyas Iyer has played 5 innings so far in Duleep Trophy 2024-25. During this, he has scored only 104 runs at an average of 20.80. He has managed to score only one half-century. Shreyas Iyer played innings of 9 runs and 54 runs in the first-round match. After this, in the second round match, he got out once without opening the account and scored 41 runs in the second innings. At the same time, now he once again returned to the pavilion without opening the account. In such a situation, his return to Team India seems difficult once again.
Let us tell you, Shreyas Iyer played his last Test match for Team India against England in February this year. Since then, he has been struggling to find a place in the team. Recently, he was selected for the ODI team on the Sri Lanka tour. But he could not do anything special in Sri Lanka as well. At the same time, a report has also claimed that at present there is no place for Iyer in India's Test team. In such a situation, his poor performance can prove to be a big tension.
