Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli
Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team’s ICC Champions Trophy has shown a great performance on the ground so far in 2025, in which the team has lost the journey to the finals without losing any match. The Indian team now has to play a final match against New Zealand at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on 9 March, for which everyone’s eyes are on. Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer’s performance on Dubai’s slow pitch is going to be very important for Team India in this match. While Kohli managed to show amazing bat in the match against Pakistan and Australia till now, Iyer has also seen a very good performance with the bat, in which he has shown a very good game against the spinners. Now the statement of former Team India player Ravi Ashwin has also come out regarding Shreyas’s batting.
Shreyas Iyer Game Changer for me
Ravichandran Ashwin, while making a statement about Shreyas Iyer’s batting on his YouTube channel, said that Shreyas Iyer is a game changer player for me in the final against New Zealand. The biggest reason for this is his form. In the ODI World Cup of 2023, his bat was seen speaking tremendously. Iyer is now seen playing much better than before on a short ball. I think Shreyas’s biggest strength is that he tries to do well in what he is not better. The way the spinners score runs rapidly in the middle overs, it also reduces a lot of pressure on Virat Kohli. That is why in the middle overs, the pair of these two have worked to create additional pressure on the captain of the opposing team. Kohli also contributes to this because it is most important to play in partnership and take the team towards victory.
Iyer has scored runs against New Zealand at an average of 70 so far
Shreyas Iyer has seen a great record in ODIs against New Zealand so far, in which he has played a total of 9 ODIs against the Kiwi team and in which he has scored a total of 563 runs with an excellent average of 70.38. Iyer’s bat has seen four half -centuries and 2 centuries against New Zealand. At the same time, his strike rate has been 100.72.
