IND vs NZ 2021: Dinesh Karthik says “Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer won’t feel judged in this dressing room”

Despite their failures in the first T20I between India and New Zealand, Dinesh Karthik feels Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer will not feel “judged” or uneasy in the Indian dressing room under Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid’s watchful eye.

Chasing 165 in Jaipur, India appeared to be in good spirits for the most part. The pressure was put back on when skipper Sharma (48) and Suryakumar Yadav (62) were both dismissed in quick succession. Shreyas Iyer (5 off 8) battled with his timing. While debutant Venkatesh Iyer scored a boundary off his first ball and then lost his wicket the next.

Rishabh Pant (17*) secured the final-over chase with two balls to spare, despite their poor efforts. Dinesh Karthik, speaking to Cricbuzz after the match, said that both Sharma and Dravid have had a lot of failure in their careers and that they will not let one bad game damage Shreyas and Venkatesh’s confidence.

Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer, the middle-order batsmen that didn’t look as good. As they would have if they had played a long innings, won’t feel so judged in this dressing room. Both the coach and the captain have seen a lot of failures and that is the biggest advantage these boys will have in the dressing room. They’ll feel rather calm and they’ll know it’s just one game… Sometimes you can feel judged and you question that ‘Am I good enough for this level?’ I think those questions won’t be the ones they’ll answer so early. It will be a very calm and easygoing dressing room.” said Dinesh Karthik

Shreyas Iyer’s innings was even supported by Dinesh Karthik. Who said he didn’t have a choice but to attack every ball, but it just didn’t work out on the day. If anyone is to blame for the match being so tight. Karthik believes it should be Yadav or Sharma for giving up their wickets.
