Shreyas Iyer Injury Update: Is Shreyas Iyer Playing IND vs AUS 2nd Test?

India’s premier middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer missed the opening Test match against Australia and also the home series against New Zealand due to a back injury. Incidentally, he travelled with the Test squad to Nagpur but then came back to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for his further recovery. However, the latest reports suggest that Iyer is very much a doubtful starter for the second Test match against Australia as well which will be starting from Friday. He has travelled with the rest of the Indian Test team to Delhi but he is unlikely to be available for selection.

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. During the first Test against Australia, Suryakumar Yadav made his Test debut but was able to score just 8 runs in the first innings. However, with Iyer still unavailable, Suryakumar will most likely retain his place in the Test side for the second Test.
