Team India: A series of 3 ODI matches is being played between Team India and Sri Lanka (IND VS SL). Team India's performance in both the matches played so far in the ODI series has been quite ordinary. Due to which, after the completion of 2 matches, Team India is trailing 0-1 in the ODI series. Team India's star batsmen were seen falling to Sri Lanka's spin bowlers in both the matches.

Especially a star batsman who is considered to be the best spinner in Indian cricket is also losing his wicket cheaply to the inexperienced Sri Lankan bowlers and is returning to the pavilion. Due to which it is now being said on social media that this star batsman is not even fit to play against Japan at the international level but Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma are carrying him like a burden with Team India.

Shreyas Iyer has been a flop in the Sri Lanka ODI series

Shreyas Iyer, who played for Team India at the international level after a long time, has been a complete flop in the first two matches of the Sri Lanka ODI series so far. Shreyas Iyer scored 23 runs in the first match of the Sri Lanka series, while in the second match, Shreyas was able to contribute only 7 runs for the team.

Due to which now cricket fans are demanding to remove Shreyas Iyer from the playing 11. Some cricket fans are also seen saying on social media that Shreyas Iyer is not even worthy of playing against an associate nation like Japan at the international level.

There is a big question mark on Shreyas Iyer's international career

Shreyas Iyer has not been included in the list of central contract players by BCCI for the 2023-24 cricketing season. Despite this, the selection committee gave Shreyas Iyer a chance in Team India's squad in the Sri Lanka ODI series, but in the 2 ODI matches played so far, Shreyas has been able to contribute only 30 runs. Due to which, after T20 cricket, Shreyas Iyer's place in ODI cricket also seems to be in danger.

Expressing faith in Gambhir and Rohit Iyer

Team India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma want to give Shreyas Iyer a chance as a middle order batsman in the Champions Trophy 2025. Due to which Shreyas Iyer is being given a chance in the playing 11 over Rishabh Pant in the Sri Lanka ODI series.

If Shreyas Iyer's bat remains silent in the third ODI match as well, then it will become very challenging for both the captain and the coach to play Shreyas Iyer consistently in the playing 11.
