You Have To Respect World Cup Winners: Finch On Shreyas Iyer's T20I Chances
T20 World Cup: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch believes that it is not simple bringing in-form batter Shreyas Iyer back into India’s T20I setup, despite his recent impressive performances, including a standout knock of 66 runs against Mumbai Indians (MI), which helped his side chase the 196 runs target in just 16.3 overs at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.
Finch highlighted the extraordinary depth in Indian cricket, particularly in the batting department, suggesting that even top players face stiff competition for a place in the national side. “You look at the depth India has at the moment. We can’t beat the side that’s in the park. Not sure we’d beat their second side, perhaps even the third,” Finch told ESPNCricinfo.
India’s recent success, having secured back-to-back T20 World Cup titles, further complicates selection decisions. Finch stressed that players who have delivered on the biggest stage deserve to retain their spots.
