It might not be the best strategy to use in the game’s longest format, though, as great South African hitter AB de Villiers cautioned. Regardless of the circumstances or situations, India’s No. 5 batsman Shreyas Iyer recently stated that he would like to play aggressively against England.
The two decisive victories by Rohit Sharma and company in the opening two T20I matches against Afghanistan clinched India’s three-match series. Cricket fans will be watching India’s impending five-match home Test series against England, which starts next week, closely as they anticipate the third Twenty20 International, which takes place in Bengaluru on Wednesday, January 17.
Watching this guy play is so much fun. With an optimistic outlook, he is prepared to participate in those England Test matches. I don’t think it’s really true to say that you should always play positively, regardless of the circumstances. Test cricket operates differently than that. AB de Villiers stated in his most recent YouTube video, “But he’ll figure it out himself.”
In Test cricket, there are instances when you have to earn the privilege of using more aggression. AB de Villiers
In Test cricket, the former captain of South Africa emphasized the value of adjusting to the environment and playing various match scenarios. As Iyer plays more red-ball cricket, AB de Villiers said he will come to understand this.
“You should have a positive mental attitude, in my opinion. Today, I will visit this place. The game-winning innings are going to be played by me. You just cannot bat well for an entire day in Test cricket, though. Because you have to adjust to specific circumstances and settings, that is part of the game’s charm. After gaining some more Test cricket experience, Shreyas will undoubtedly discover that sometimes you have to earn the right to play more aggressively, according to De Villiers.
During a recent two-match Test series in South Africa, Iyer was a member of the Indian Test team. With just 41 runs in four innings, he did not, however, enjoy a productive stay in the Rainbow Nation. For the current Twenty20 International series against Afghanistan, the right-handed batsman was left off of the squad. In the 2024 Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Andhra Pradesh, he played as a Mumbai representative. Iyer struck forty-eight runs off of fifty balls in the one inning he hit.
