IND vs NZ: Shreyas Iyer, a middle-order batsman for India, will not play in the forthcoming three-match One-Day International series between New Zealand and India beginning on January 18 due to a back ailment. According to a press announcement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Rajat Patidar will take Shreyas’ spot in the ODI series.
Shreyas Iyer was a member of the side that recently played at home versus Sri Lanka and was India’s top run scorer overall for the calendar year 2022.
Rajat Patidar was also a member of the Shikhar Dhawan-led team that competed against South Africa at home just before the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia got underway.
Patidar was denied the chance to make his international debut, despite being given the chance based on his performance in the Indian Premier League 2022 and the manner he had consistently scored runs for Madhya Pradesh in the home circuit. Due to the absence of numerous elite players who were competing in the T20 World Cup 2022, the hosts won the series 2-1.
In the first-class circuit, Patidar has a respectable record. He has amassed 3668 runs in 50 games, a fantastic average of 46.43. His List A statistics could use some work, as the right-handed batter has only scored 1668 runs in 51 games, averaging 34.33 runs per game.
However, in the just concluded ODI series against the Lankan Lions, Shreyas was unable to make a lasting impression. With 38, 28 and 28 points, Shreyas undoubtedly got off to a good start but was unable to capitalise on them.
IND vs NZ: India’s updated ODI squad against New Zealand:
Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (wk), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, KS Bharat (wk), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Rajat Patidar, Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Umran Malik
