Laxman Says Shreyas Iyer Should Get Chance Ahead Of Ajinkya Rahane
India vs South Africa: Team India is currently preparing for the tour of South Africa after winning the Test series against New Zealand. TeamIndia is likely to announce the squad anytime soon or tomorrow. The Team India selectors are based in Mumbai. From here the team will travel to South Africa. The big question ahead of the series is whether Ajinkya Rahane will be included in the squad. If he is selected, will he be in the Indian playing XI for the South Africa Test series? VVS Laxman answered this question.
In an exclusive interview with Star Sports, VVS Laxman said that Ajinkya Rahane will not be in Team India’s playing XI. Shreyas Iyer will be given the chance to replace Rahane. Shreyas Iyer has excelled and the team should give him a chance, ”he said.
Iyer in place of Rahane ..
According to VVS Laxman, ‘Rahane does not want to play the first match. It is important to give opportunities consistently. Shreyas Iyer did well in the first two matches. Iyer scored a century and a half in his first Test. I trust him. That is what a young batsman wants, ‘said Laxman.
VVS Laxman also spoke about giving a chance to Hanuma Vihari in the South Africa tour. Hanuma Vihari did not get a chance in the Test series against New Zealand. Questions are then raised on the selectors. However, the player is playing against South Africa. His performance suggests that Hanuma Vihari could earn a place in the South African Test series squad. According to Laxman, Mayank Agarwal will not get a chance in the first Test against South Africa as Rahul-Rohit’s position is assured. Pujara will be third and Virat Kohli fourth.
Ashwin should be given a chance – Laxman
VVS Laxman talks about making room for Ashwin and Jadeja in the playing XI for the tour of South Africa. Laxman said Jadeja could play in 7th position as an all-rounder and Ashwin should also get a chance. Laxman talked about getting into the ring with three fast bowlers. With the exception of Jaspreet Bumra and Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj is at the forefront of these three fast bowlers. But it remains to be seen what Virat Kohli-Rahul Dravid will think. All things will be revealed soon.
