India has been gearing up for the big tournaments ahead of them. With just 6 days until the Asia Cup 2023 starts, the players are practicing for the tournament in their way. Some of the players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja had an off period, as they were not picked for the T20I series against West Indies and Ireland. Hardik Pandya was also rested for the Ireland series.
On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah led team India against Ireland and performed extremely well on his comeback. The captaincy of Bumrah was impressive in the two T20Is which India won. Thereby, the star bowler showed how fit he is and how ready for the big tournaments. The major fitness concern was of India’s pace bowler, which seems to have vanished now with his good performance against Ireland.
Shreyas Iyer rocks in practice match
The other players like KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, who are returning from their injuries, have also started their practice. The two middle-order batters are playing the practice matches ahead of the Asia Cup to test themselves. While KL Rahul’s wicketkeeping will be crucial for India, Iyer’s presence in the side will be equally important, especially in the middle order.
The Mumbai batter seems to be back at his best. In the practice match, Iyer scored a magnificent 199 and impressed everyone. If anything, it was to prove that the 28-year-old is match fit and ready to fire for the Indian team. This is a piece of big news for the fans of the Indian team, as a fit Iyer can solve a lot of problems for India.
The Mumbai-born batter has been the best batter for India at number 4 in ODIs since 2020. Iyer brings composure to the side with his batting. In Indian conditions, Iyer can be dangerous, especially against the spinners. With big tournaments like ODI World Cup and Asia Cup happening in subcontinent conditions, Iyer’s form with the bat is a big plus for the Indian team.
Here’s how the fans reacted to the news –
Hope he worked on short ball too because bahot padne wali hai
