The criticism towards Shreyas Iyer extends beyond his on-field performance; he has become a subject of mockery on social media for his unique style choices. During a recent innings, Iyer sported black glasses while batting, a move that surprised many. Unfortunately, his stylish entrance was short-lived as he was dismissed for a duck by Khalil Ahmed, further fueling the online trolling directed at him.

Despite a half-century in the second innings of a match against India C, Iyer’s inconsistent performances highlight the uphill battle he faces to reclaim his spot in Team India. With a Test career that includes 14 matches, 811 runs, one century, and five fifties, Iyer’s journey back to the national team remains uncertain.

As upcoming Test series loom against New Zealand and Australia, Shreyas Iyer is determined to bounce back and prove his mettle in the longer format, aiming for a successful comeback.

Despite his selection, reports indicate that Sarfaraz will be actively participating in the upcoming Duleep Trophy matches for India B from September 12 to 15. The talented cricketer recently showcased his skills in the first round of the Duleep Trophy, where India B emerged victorious over India A, led by Shubman Gill.

In the midst of preparations for the series against Bangladesh, a significant debate has arisen surrounding the selection between Sarfaraz Khan and KL Rahul for the Indian team. Sources suggest that KL Rahul may replace Sarfaraz in the initial Test match, with selectors emphasizing the need for key players to gain essential match practice ahead of the forthcoming 5-match series against Australia.

While KL Rahul boasts experience on foreign pitches and a commendable track record overseas, Sarfaraz Khan’s recent performances and potential for the team’s future have sparked discussion within the cricketing community. Having displayed promising form during his debut against England earlier this year, Sarfaraz’s lack of experience playing abroad raises questions about his role in the upcoming Test series and the World Test Championship final in England.
