Indian team's veteran all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been an important player for the team for some time now. Team India has not had any big all-rounder for the last few years and that is why Hardik remains in the team continuously. However, now such a player has come in the team, who can remove Pandya from the Indian team.
Hardik is very important for Team India but on many occasions he gets injured and the team has to suffer the consequences. In such a situation, India did not have a fast bowling all-rounder who could compete with Hardik but now such a player has entered who can remove Pandya from the team.
Actually, Venkatesh Iyer also performed brilliantly in the Indian Premier League IPL 2024.
He has consistently made a splash with bat and ball in domestic cricket as well. In such a situation, he can soon become an important player for India and can replace Pandya. Iyer may not have bowled in IPL 2024 but he has the ability to bowl. In such a situation, this right-handed player can show Pandya the way out on the basis of his performance.This player has also played matches for India and has performed well in that too. He has scored 133 runs in 9 T-20 matches at an average of 33.25 and an impressive strike rate of 162.19 and during this time he has also taken 5 wickets and his economy has also been 8.
This player's record in domestic cricket has also been excellent and so far he has played a total of 20 first class matches in his career and has scored 1132 runs at an average of 37.73. During this, one century and 10 half-centuries have come from his bat. Apart from this, 15 wickets are also registered in his name. Talking about List A cricket, this player has proved to be effective in this format as well.
In List A cricket, he has scored 1458 runs in 43 matches at an average of 44.18 and during this time he has scored 5 half-centuries as well as 4 centuries.
He has also taken 23 wickets while bowling. In such a situation, if he is given a chance in Team India, he can fill the void left by Hardik.
