Shreyas Iyer, who hasn't been picked in the India squad for the first Test against Bangladesh, was dismissed by Khaleel Ahmed for a seven-ball duck. The Mumbai batter played a delivery straight into the hands of the fielder at mid-on. Basit Ali on his YouTube Channel reckoned that Shreyas Iyer was not taking red-ball cricket seriously. He said that as per his potentials and stature, the 29-year-old should have scored a hundred or a double hundred, adding that Shreyas Iyer was lucky that veteran batters Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara, who have been sidelined from the Indian team, are not part of the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2024. "As a cricketer, it saddens me to see him. If you are getting out in front, your concentration isn't in the game. And especially the red-ball game. He has scored two centuries in the World Cup, he's an IPL-winning captain, he should've scored 100-200 runs here. Iyer is so lucky that Rahane and Pujara aren't playing in the Duleep Trophy," said Basit. Shreyas Iyer should not think he is Virat Kohli Further, Basit Ali, who played 19 Test matches for Pakistan, slammed the selectors for picking Shreyas Iyer in the Duleep Trophy squad, and the batter for not respecting the game. The 53-year-old added that Iyer should also not make the mistake of thinking he is similar to Virat Kohli. "Iyer doesn't have the hunger for red-ball cricket anymore. He's only hungry for boundaries. You should prioritise it. If he's thinking he is similar to Virat Kohli after hitting two centuries in the World Cup, no, it doesn't happen that way. I'm sorry to Indians who like him, but if I was India's selector, Iyer wouldn't have been in the Duleep Trophy at all. He's not respecting the game," he said. India D were bundled out for 183 after Iyer's dismissal for duck. Devdutt Padikkal fought a lone battle for the team with 92 off 124 balls.
