Former Indian cricket staff opener Virender Sehwag believes that Shreyas Iyer has cemented his spot within the enjoying XI for the Cricket World Cup 2023 after a sensational century in opposition to Australia within the recently-concluded ODI collection. Iyer seemed in good contact and with the spectacular knock within the second ODI encounter, Sehwag picked him to bat at No. 4 for India. The legendary batter additional picked KL Rahul to bat at No. 5 and all-rounder Hardik Pandya to bat at No. 6 on the World Cup. As a outcome, he stated that each Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav missed out to the type of the opposite established batters.

“At No. 6 and 7 KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya will be there. So Suryakumar won’t be there at either of those positions. There is No. 5 though. But if Hardik Pandya is your sixth bowler then Rahul will bat at No. 5, and Hardik at No. 6, then comes the bowlers. We thought Ishan Kishan could fit in somewhere in the line-up, but that hundred which Shreyas Iyer scored, if he plays at No. 4 then it will be Iyer, Rahul and Hardik at No. 4, 5 and 6 respectively,” Sehwag stated throughout an interplay on Cricbuzz.

However, Sehwag additionally identified that in case a slot opens up within the Indian cricket staff middle-order, Kishan will probably be most well-liked due to the shortage of left-handed batting choices within the aspect in the meanwhile.

“Now it depends on how India look at this combination, whether they feel Hardik will certainly bowl 10 overs because that will give India an extra bowler. So then Suryakumar cannot fit in there and even if there is a slot, then Ishan should be picked ahead because he is a left-hander,” he added.
