Champions Trophy Final: Shreyas Has Done The Thankless Middle-order Job For Years, Says Siddhesh Lad
But in the last few years, India have discovered a crucial piece that completes the jigsaw -- a trusted solution for their troubles. Shreyas Iyer has turned out as the answer to their prayers, a batter who not only complements the star-studded top-order but has grown into one of the simplest middle-order batters in world cricket.
Scores of 59, 44, 78, 15, 56, 79, 45 - these have been compiled by Shreyas Iyer in his last seven innings, all coming while batting in the middle-order. In the 2023 World Cup, the 30-year-old Iyer had a wonderful campaign, scoring 530 runs, including two hundreds at a strike rate of 113. He has been very consistent in ODIs. Since 2022, Iyer has appeared in 40 matches at No. 4. In the ongoing Champions Trophy, Iyer has registered 195 runs in four innings, along with a 48.75 average and 79 the highest.
