Shreyas Iyer has recovered from his shoulder injury and will be available for the second leg of IPL 2021. He is likely to replace Steve Smith at the number three position. Iyer hasn’t been selected in India’s T20 World Cup 15-member squad and has also been relieved of the captaincy duties in IPL. He certainly has a point to prove in the second leg of IPL 2021.

Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer should bat at number four and five respectively. Pant didn’t set the stage on fire during the India leg of IPL 2021. Ahead of the T20 World Cup, the Indian team would be hoping that he enjoys a great season for his franchise in UAE. So far, he has managed to score 213 runs in 8 matches at an average of 35.50.

Shimron Hetmyer played an eye-catching half-century in the first half of the tournament.
