Shreyas Iyer's eyes on Virat Kohli's number-3 batting position in ODI, know what he said

Posted on 25th Jul 2022 06:01 pm by rohit kumar

Virat Kohli has played a total of 262 One Day International matches in his career and in 201 matches he has batted at number three. Virat has been holding the number-3 batting position in One Day Internationals for a long time. Between 2009 and 2022, Virat has scored a total of 10,228 runs in 201 One Day Internationals at an average of 60.52, batting at number 3. Virat's records are witness to how much this batting position suits him. Virat's 36 ODI centuries out of 43 have also come while batting at the same batting position. Now Shreyas Iyer is eyeing this batting position. Virat has been rested from the ongoing ODI series against West Indies and Iyer is getting a chance to bat at No. Iyer has also strengthened his claim on this batting position by hitting two consecutive fifty.

 

After the second ODI in Port of Spain, Iyer said that he is enjoying batting at this number. “It is one of the best positions to bat in. You may have to go to the crease in difficult situations. If the wicket falls early, you will have to get to the crease early and play the role of grooming. Iyer said, 'Also, when there is a good partnership for the first wicket, then you have to carry that forward. I am having a lot of fun batting at number three.

 

Virat has been going through the poor form for some time now. Recently, citing the busy schedule of cricket, the Test captain of England decided to retire from One Day Internationals. The way India is playing match after match, it can be seen in the coming times that Virat can also retire from any format. If this happens, then Shreyas Iyer can be a good option for India to bat at number 3. Shreyas Iyer's eyes on Virat Kohli's number-3 batting position in ODI, know what he said
