Hopefully Indian selectors will now stop overestimating Shreyas Iyer’s batting ability: Ian Chappell

Former Australia cricketer Ian Chappell did not mince his words in his evaluation of Indian batter Shreyas Iyer’s recent form and batting performances in recent times. Iyer has not been able to score even a half century in his last 13 Test innings and this saw the selectors drop him for the remainder of the series. Hopefully, the selectors will now stop overestimating Shreyas Iyer’s batting ability and learn to value Kuldeep Yadav’s wicket-taking capability more,” Chappell wrote in his column for ESPNCricinfo. Despite an impressive show at the ODI World Cup last year, Iyer struggled to find his rhythm in Test cricket.
