“Need better thinking from Shreyas,” declares Yuvraj Singh after India’s top-order collapsed against Australia in the World Cup

Before Virat Kohli and KL Rahul finished off India’s incredible comeback at the Chepauk on Sunday, Rohit Sharma and company were on the verge of an embarassing loss in opening ICC World Cup 2023. Rohit’s team, tipped to break India’s World Cup drought at home, was stumbling at 2-3 in 1.6 overs. Knives were out for Shreyas Iyer after Team India lost three of its top batsmen and recorded the second-lowest total in World Cup history. Yuvraj Singh, a great all-rounder, called Iyer out on social media.

After India had a surprising mini-batting collapse, the 2011 World Cup champion spoke out on X (formerly known as Twitter) on the significance of the No. 4 hitter in India’s lineup. In addition, the former Indian all-rounder thought that wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul ought to have entered the batting order before Iyer. Three of India’s top four batsmen were bowled for a duck, a first in ODI cricket history.

“Need Iyer to think more clearly.”

The strain must be taken by the No. 4 batsman! When the team is attempting to rebuild their innings, @ShreyasIyer15 needs to think more clearly. I’m still perplexed as to why @klrahul is not batting at position four! after defeating Pakistan by a score of 100! Dropping @imVkohli might cost Australia dearly; don’t remove the king since he has the ability to win the match. Game on,” yelled Yuvraj.

Yuvraj was right when he said that Kohli would lose a catch, and the former India captain made the most of the opportunity to play a fantastic innings against Australia. The 34-year-old scored 85 off 116 balls, while Rahul was unbeaten on 97 (115) as India defeated the five-time world champions by six wickets. At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, during the fifth meeting between the two sides, former India captain Virat Kohli broke several records.

“King Kohli in top form”

“Great innings under pressure to turn around the team!” King Kohli at his finest deserved to get a score of 100. Good luck with your World Cup campaign thus far! @imVkohli,” said Yuvraj. Gloveman Rahul’s outstanding performance of 97 off 115 balls against Australia earned him the title of Player of the Match. In the ninth game of the ICC World Cup on Wednesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, India will take on Afghanistan after thrashing Australia in its first encounter of the tournament.
