Shreyas Iyer spoke on the intense competition for positions in the Indian team ahead of the 2023 ODI World Cup. Shreyas has been in excellent form in 50-over cricket, having made an impression during the South Africa series in October.

Despite his incredible run of form, Shreyas will have a tough time making it into India’s 15-man team because Virat Kohli is a definite, and players like Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Deepak Hooda, Suryakumar Yadav, and Sanju Samson are also vying for middle-order spots.

After the 2022 T20 World Cup, all eyes will be on the 2023 ODI World Cup, which Team India will host, in the hopes of ending their 10-year drought without an ICC title. The next 12 months will be crucial as the Men in Blue try to put together a world-class squad.

Both in the batting and bowling categories, there is intense rivalry for positions. Shreyas Iyer is one of the top candidates to join India’s middle order. Iyer became India’s leading run scorer across formats in 2022 despite being passed over for the T20 World Cup due to his performance in ODIs and Tests. Across all formats, he scored 1489 runs in 38 innings.

“I like to stick to my routines and processes”: Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer noted that he is just concerned with matters within his control while discussing the competition.

“I don’t know. I don’t really care about it. I like to do my things right. I like to stick to my routines and processes. These talks have been going on for years. It’s something the media is bringing out. It’s not there in my mind. My goal is to win the World Cup and play knocks that help the team win games. Selection is not in my hands” Shreyas Iyer said in an interview with timesofindia.
