#4 Shreyas Iyer batting out of position

Shreyas Iyer has been strangely confined to the middle order

The Delhi lad Shreyas Iyer has been making the right moves in the domestic circuit. A hard hitter of the cricket ball, Iyer is a natural opener and slotted alongside Quinton de Kock at the top of the order last season.

This time around though, Billings and Samson have opened the innings. While the former has made full use of his promotion thus far, Billings has looked flashy without carrying on to make scores of any real significance.

Iyer's fighting knock today proved that he is in fine touch, No. 5 seems to be way too low for him. In Karun Nair and Sanju Samson they already have two batsmen capable of rotating the strike. In this context, it seems bizarre that the Dravid-led side haven’t used Iyer as an opener.
