The middle-order batters KL Rahul & Shreyas Iyer toyed with the Netherlands’ bowling lineup. KL Rahul smashed a gigantic ton and was looking ominous. Shreyas Iyer on the other hand seemed as if he was batting on a different surface as the batter had a torrid run in the championship.
All of a sudden, India’s batting lineup has become powerful. The management would be considering promoting the swashbuckling right-handed batter Suryakumar Yadav up the order. Suryakumar Yadav can play a breezy knock for the team in the middle overs phase of 11-40.
India’s pace attack can do wonders on the flat deck too which has been their peculiarity. Indian cricket team would be aware of the fact that they can’t go overboard as New Zealand would come well prepared. The pair of Tim Southee & Trent Boult can create havoc with their impeccable lines & lengths and foxy variations.
KL Rahul & Shreyas Iyer are not going to get under pressure- Sanjay Manjrekar
Sanjay Manjrekar was having an interaction with Star Sports. Sanjay Manjrekar pointed out that the batters like Shreyas Iyer & KL Rahul have shown immense mental application and said that the batters haven’t panicked in pressure situations and have given importance to rotating the strike,
“The ideal man for India to have at that position and KL Rahul as well because these are guys who are not going to get under pressure because there have been four or five dot balls, and then you play a high-risk big shot to release the pressure,” said Sanjay Manjrekar.
“These are guys who will tick off the singles despite five fielders being inside the circle. These are guys who have different gears. The batting pedigree is showing – KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma, everyone who plays Test cricket as well for India,” he added.
