As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is just less than a month away, India have suffered a setback as Shreyas Iyer is likely to get ruled out of the first two Tests owing to a back injury. In the 3-match ODI series against New Zealand, the All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Rajat Patidar as Iyer’s replacement. However, there are chances that Iyer could recover from his injury and feature in the Tests, but if he remains unavailable, the selectors will have to search for his replacement.

Recently, some youngsters have had a great run in the 2022-23 edition of the Ranji Trophy with their incredible batting displays. Noting those performances, the selectors could give them a chance to fill the shoes of the 28-year-old in the upcoming games against the Aussies. In the ongoing domestic tournament, these batters are consistently giving headaches to the bowlers and witnessing that, it could be said that the chances of these players are increasing rapidy to take Iyer's place.

Here are three players the team management can trust to replace Shreyas Iyer in India’s squad

In the last edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2020,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-reviews/irani-trophy-2022-day-1-review-sarfaraz-khan-hanuma-vihari-punish-saurashtra-following-sensational-effort-from-bowlers/" title="Hanuma Vihari" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hanuma Vihari</a> played a crucial role in India’s historical victory. In the second innings of the third Test, he played a memorable unbeaten knock (23 runs off 161 balls) for the team. Along with Ravichandran Ashwin, he displayed composure and stitched an unbreakable 62-run partnership that saved the match for India.&nbsp;

In July 2022, he played his last international game for India against England at Edgbaston. Last month, he missed the Test series in Bangladesh and recently, his name didn’t feature in the squad for the two Tests against Australia also. However, with Iyer’s injury, there are chances that he could make it to the team. His reliable batting figures also make him a favourite to replace Iyer.

In 28 innings of 16 international Test matches, Vihari has scored 839 runs with a century and five fifties. Recently, he also participated in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23, and racked up 331 runs for Andhra Pradesh in 10 innings of six games with a half-century. Looking at his current form and trustable batting numbers, the selectors might show faith in him to replace Iyer.

The Mumbai batter,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/prithvi-shaw-shares-congratulatory-messages-post-india-call-up-for-new-zealand-t20is/" title="Prithvi Shaw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prithvi Shaw</a> started the year with a bang notching up a triple-hundred in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23 against Assam. With his outstanding 379-run knock, he helped his team hammer the opponents by an innings and 128 runs. Witnessing the best innings of Shaw’s domestic career, the selectors could clear his way to join India’s squad to fill Iyer’s spot for the opening two games of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The 23-year-old played his last Test match against Australia in the last edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2020. In the first Test of the competition, Shaw looked miserable against the Aussie bowlers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, getting dismissed on a duck and four in the first and second innings respectively.

However, things have changed a lot since then as Shaw has played a lot of fine innings in domestic cricket. His recent triple-hundred knock exuded confidence and considering that, the team management and skipper could seek his services for the upcoming two games against the Aussies. So far, Shaw has amassed 339 runs in five international Test matches with a hundred and two half-centuries. Notably, Shaw made a comeback in the squad recently for the upcoming T20I series against the BlackCaps.

In the Ranji Trophy 2022-23,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/keep-scoring-runs-for-whichever-team-sarfaraz-khan-reveals-fathers-message-after-india-snub/" title="Sarfaraz Khan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sarfaraz Khan</a> played some scintilating innings with the bat. With 556 runs in eight innings of six matches, he went bonkers and claimed his domination over the opponents. The batter also hit three centuries and a half-century in the competition. Witnessing these colossal batting numbers from his bat, a lot of Indian fans were expecting him to get selected for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which is scheduled to take place next month.

However, Sarfaraz’s name didn’t feature in the 17-member squad announced for the Australia series, which irked his fans. Some former cricketers such as Venkatesh Prasad and Irfan Pathan also expressed their disappointment after him being ignored from the squad.

However, if Iyer doesn’t get fit for the huge Test series, the 25-year-old could emerge as a top contender to replace him in the first two games. After facing a snub, he smashed his third century in the tournament. With his swashbuckling innings of 125 runs (155 deliveries) in the ongoing match against Delhi, he displayed his confidence again.
