Shreyas Iyer is a very good player – Harbhajan Singh
The right -handed drummer Shreyas Iyer has become one of the best Indian cricket players in recent years, and he has impressed everyone with his leadership skills.
He has made significant improvements in his striker and conquered his short short ball. Iyer is currently a regular member of the ODI team of India, but the selection committee has kept it completely away from the configuration in the red ball cricket and T20is.
Iyer had a stellar campaign in the Indian Premier League 2025, where he took the Punjab Kings to the final and slammed 604 points to an average of 50.33 and a strike rate of 175.07. Before that, he had played five Ranji trophy games during the 2024-25 season and scored 480 points at an average of 68.57.
Despite his coherent performances in the formats, Iyer was omitted from the test team for the tour in England, and that was not suitable for many fans and experts.
Speaking on the sidelines of the launch of the Vidarbha Cricket League in Nagpur, Harbhajan Singh said that Iyer is a proven artist and should have been taken into account for the series of tests in England.
The legendary offeror of the offer also motivated the 30 -year -old, saying that he should not be assigned by the snob test because he is a good player and could be seen led by Indian team Odi in the near future. He said (as mentioned by Ians):
“Shreyas Iyer is a very good player. He has proven himself in the ODIs, played in the World Cup, the Champions and IPL trophy. So yes, he should have been part of the Squad. But maybe the selectors did not consider him a red ball player right now. If I was part of the selection committee, I would have considered it on. “
In my opinion, Sai Sudharsan should play No. 3 – Harbhajan Singh
With the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli of Test Cricket and the omission of Ajinkya Rahane and Chetehwar Pujara, some drums of strikers opened in the Indian test team.
In the five -game test series against England, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Kl Rahul, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill were finalized to fight in the first four.
When Harbhajan Singh was asked who would take the crucial place n ° 3, he supported the young Sai Sudharsan and said:
“In my opinion, Sai Sudharsan should play n ° 3. He is a left -handed, in great shape, and has just come out of a very impressive IPL. His technique is healthy, and I think he could be the solution to this position.”
Gill is a new captain, and the team is quite young – Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan Singh also said that the Indian test team led by Shubman Gill looked quite inexperienced, but that players must remain confident to do the work. He said:
“The team must believe in themselves – believe that it can win. This team has the capacity. These are the same young people – Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant – who broke the Australia fortress at Gabba. Now it’s their turn to redo the story. The opportunity is massive, and they should catch it with both hands.
“Gill is a new captain, and the team is quite young – there is no Rohit, Virat, Pujara or even Ajinkya Rahane. It will be difficult, but I expect our young people to get up on occasion and work well.”
