Selectors will stop overestimating Iyer’s batting: Chappell. “They will be greatly strengthened by Ravindra Jadeja’s and KL Rahul’s recovery from injury. ” Chappell said in a statement.
Ian Chappell, a former Australian captain, has strongly criticized Shreyas Iyer for Team India’s decision to withdraw the out-of-form batter from the squad for the remaining England series. Iyer’s recent problems with the bat, scoring only 104 runs in two Tests at a modest average of 26, led to his removal owing to poor form and injury worries.
Chappell praised the return of KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, stating that they have a positive impact on the team. He expressed pleasure that the selectors took the right decision in omitting Iyer. Who has gone eight Test innings without scoring a half-century. Chappell’s comments emphasize the importance of form and selection precision in the high-stakes cricket game.
“India is a strong team with a capable skipper in Rohit Sharma. They will be immensely bolstered by Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul’s comeback from injury. Virat Kohli’s absence for the remainder of the series is a setback. Hopefully, the selectors will stop overestimating Shreyas Iyer’s batting skills and begin to respect Kuldeep Yadav’s wicket-taking ability more,” Chappell wrote in his ESPNcricinfo blog.

Stokes’ bowling is a distinct weapon: Ian Chappell
Ian Chappell believes that England captain Ben Stokes’ return to bowling and slip fielding will be a huge help for the team. Stokes, who is recovering from knee surgery, did not bowl his medium pace in the two Tests against India. Chappell expressed hope that Stokes will participate actively in the early batting phases.
“It will be extremely beneficial to England if Stokes is able to resume his role as an allrounder, since his bowling is a unique asset. It would also be beneficial if he fielded in the slips, particularly against the spinners, as he is one of the best in that position. Stokes could focus on his own batting. His performance would benefit from being more proactive at the start of each inning. Stokes is an excellent batter, but he performs best when he is wanting to score,” Chappell observed.
