Over the last couple of years, Iyer has proved his maturity and adaptability by standing up when India needed him most. From the way he manages to rotate the strike so convincingly, or the precision boundary-hitting talent that he possesses, Iyer has demonstrated he can thrive on different types of conditions.

Importance of shreyas Iyer :

Increased dependence of Shreyas Iyer in the India squad is highlighted by head coach Gautam Gambhir's latest vote of confidence, referring to him as 'always important' for India following their 3-0 series whitewash of England.

Shreyas batted gloriously with the bat, sustaining the rate of runs through the middle overs, scoring 181 runs from the strike of 123.12. Over the past couple of years developing into a regular middle-order guy has been gold for the Indian ODI combination as his batting ensured the onus is kept away from the top order.

A middle overs enforcer capable of playing the aggressor's role if needed and required, Iyer is likely to be India's anchor-bat, particularly with patchy recent form of senior pros Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
