Calm, composed, and skilful are some of the words that best describe Shreyas Iyer's abilities with the bat. His ability to bat well against spinners in the middle-overs makes him an ideal candidate at No. 4 for India in the T20Is.

Iyer has had two good IPL campaigns for Delhi Capitals. In 2018, Iyer scored 411 runs at a strike rate of 133 and in 2019, he finished with 463 runs in 16 matches at an average of 31. He was also brilliant for Mumbai in the 2018-19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, with 373 runs in six innings at an average of 93.25, which included two thumping hundreds.

Iyer made his ODI and T20I debut for India in 2017 but was not able to nail down a place in the squad. However, with India struggling to find a consistent middle-order batsman, Iyer might be given an extended run in the team to solidify the line-up for next year's T20 World Cup.
