England cricket team bowlers have exploited the weakness of Shreyas Iyer once again as the Indian middle-order batsman was dismissed once again on a short-ball.
The day 3’s action of the rescheduled 5th Test match as part of the World Test Championship 2021-2023 is currently underway as India is batting in their 2nd inning and looking to set to a good target.
It was a good start for Team India on the day before they lost the wicket of Cheteshwar Pujara, that brought in Shreyas Iyer. Even he looked uncomfortable for the first 2 balls, he got settled in and started playing some good shots.
However, as per former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) head coach Brendon McCullum’s advice, the England bowlers kept on bowling bouncers to Iyer, the Kolkata Knight Riders captain and finally Matty Potts got his wicket off a bouncer.
After that, the Indian cricket fans seemed annoyed as Iyer had no need to touch the ball and could have ducked it. Check-out how Twitterati reacted to it.
Shreyas Iyer, you can't repeat the same mistake again and again

They had a very simple plan, short ball. And he had fallen for it again.
