Just before the start of the ODI series against New Zealand earlier last month, India’s premier middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of contention due to a back injury. The same injury successively ruled him out for atleast the opening Test match against Australia. The right-hander has played a lot of crucial knocks especially in Test cricket for the Indian team during the recent while and is a very good player to counter the spinners. In his short Test career, Iyer has scored a total of 624 runs from as many as 7 Test matches at an average of over 56 that includes five half-centuries and one hundred.
