BENGALURU, Feb 15: Shreyas Iyer appears restless at the crease, reminiscent of Steve Smith’s bat movements. He frequently adjusts his bat’s position against fast bowlers and shifts across the stumps when facing spinners. Additionally, he experiments with various stances.
This restlessness in his batting may seem apparent, but it masks a focused and analytical mind dedicated to finding ways to score runs, which will be India’s greatest advantage heading into the Champions Trophy.
India will need to counter a range of challenges in the league stages of the ICC tournament, including spin from Bangladesh and New Zealand, as well as pace from Pakistan.
