IND vs AUS: 3 Players who can replace Shreyas Iyer in India's playing XI
Shreyas Iyer is out of action due to a back injury.
2. Suryakumar Yadav
The flamboyant batter, Suryakumar Yadav, is one of the first names on the team sheet when it comes to white-ball cricket. However, when it comes to red-ball cricket, he is yet to earn his cap. He has been successful in First Class but the brand of cricket he plays is often not regarded to be ideal in Test cricket. Thus, despite doing well the cricketer failed to break through.
However, times have changed and teams have started playing in an aggressive manner in Test cricket as well. Thus, Yadav can be a perfect replacement for Shreyas Iyer in the middle order. With Pant not there, he can take on the Aussie bowlers right from the start and put them under pressure. This is what the Men in Blue need at this moment and thus, Yadav can be a perfect fit.
He has played 79 First Class matches for Mumbai and has scored 5549 runs at an average of 44.75, which shows that the batter has experience under his belt and makes him very much worthy to be considered for the spin-friendly Indian pitches.
