Shreyas Iyer has emerged as an extraordinary choice for the Indian cricket crew in the middle order. His cool and quiet poise has seen him lead two IPL groups also. Be that as it may, in the new visit through England, Iyer looked helpless against the short ball.
Former New Zealand player Scott Styris has now said that Iyer’s initiative characteristics pursue him as a decent decision for India captaincy.
“What I really like about Shreyas Iyer is the leadership qualities that he possesses. I think he’s a real possibility to be a captain as well for India. For that reason, I would like to see him in and even give him more and more opportunities to be around this squad,”

“What I don’t like, the negative if you like, is that there is no secret about Shreyas. He has real problems with the short ball. I think you’ll see a lot of teams attack him with the quick bowlers looking to attack the body with the bouncer, go under the armpit if you like because I’m not sure he has found a way. He’s almost a little bit like Suresh Raina in that regard where teams now know how to attack him. It’s now up to Shreyas Iyer to find a way to succeed against that style of bowling. If he can do that, then I think he’s one of the first names you write down in that Indian side. I really do like all the qualities about him, but until then, I think you’ve just got to give him opportunities and if he can’t find success then you need to find someone else who can, but he’s very talented.”
