IND vs SA 2nd Test: Shreyas Iyer faces short ball barrage in net session

Virat Kohli looked a million dollars as he did extensive simulation for South Africa's left-arm pacer Nandre Burger but Shreyas Iyer's problems seemed to continue while facing a barrage of short balls at nets here on Monday. On the New Year's Day, it was business as usual for Kohli, who had an extended session lasting close to an hour. First, he was at the centre nets against bowlers and then he faced high-intensity throwdowns for about 20 to 25 minutes at outside nets. Kohli is known to come to nets with specific purpose and on Monday, it seemed he wanted to extensively bat against a left-arm pacer. Since the Indian team's pace bowling roster doesn't include a left-armer, a net bowler was summoned and Kohli faced a good 25 to 30 deliveries from him in between playing against Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, R Ashwin and Avesh Khan. Kohli was repeatedly seen putting in a big stride forward and at times walking a couple of steps to whip the bowler through mid wicket. However, the on

IPL 2024: Shreyas Iyer returns to KKR captaincy, Rana named his deputy

Indian middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer will lead Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024, the management announced on Thursday. The 29-year-old had missed the entire IPL 2023 season because of a back injury that required surgery in London in April, forcing KKR to give captaincy to Nitish Rana. Making the announcement, KKR CEO Venky Mysore said: We are delighted that he's back and at the helm as captain. Shreyas made a comeback in the Asia Cup in September and returned to form in the home series against Australia with an 86-ball hundred in Mohali. In the recently-concluded World Cup, he batted in the key No. 4 slot, scoring 530 runs from 11 innings with two centuries and three fifties at an average of 66.25. The way he has worked hard to recover from his injury and the form he has displayed is a testament to his character. Rana, who led KKR to a seventh-place finish in IPL 2023, was named the vice-captain. I believe the last season presented us with several challenges, including m

IND vs AUS 4th T20: Iyer's inclusion will make a big impact - Ravi Bishnoi

Shreyas Iyer brings a huge reputation as a T20 batter and is poised to make a big impact in the remaining two games of the five-match series, said young India leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi on Friday. Designated vice-captain Iyer will be back in action after being rested for the first three matches as India will have another shot to seal the series from being 2-1 up. "It will make a big impact in our batting lineup," Bishnoi told reporters during the pre-match press conference. Shreyas amassed 530 runs in 11 matches of the recent ODI World Cup. "He brings a lot of reputation in T20 cricket and has been in good form in the World Cup. As a senior player his experience will also help us." The 23-year-old legspinner has been the pick of the bowlers in the series, having grabbed 6 wickets at 19.66. Bishnoi credited this to his skipper Suryakumar Yadav for giving the bowlers a "free hand". "As a captain, Surya bhai gives you a free hand, he gives you all the right to place the fielders, the

Here's how coach Amre changed Shreyas Iyer's mindset on short balls

Often players in their sub-conscious mind know how they feel about a particular situation but when the validation comes from someone who they can rely upon, the next step becomes easier. Former India batter and renowned coach Praveen Amre for a long time has been a sounding board for Shreyas Iyer, having been his coach from early teenage years. A chance meeting between student and the teacher at the Wankhede Stadium ahead of Sri Lanka game did work as a boost. Couple of dismissals off short balls against New Zealand and England did increase a lot of pressure on the talented Mumbaikar, who had come into the team after a long back injury lay-off and repeated talks about his technique wasn't a good thing. "The Sri Lanka game was very important one for him. Everyone was talking about the dismissals but he handled that phase very well," Amre told PTI after his ward scored an unbeaten 128 off 94 balls against the Netherlands. His sequence of scores in last three games has been 82, 77 and
