He Needs To Work On His Defence: Manjrekar's Words Of Wisdom To Iyer For Survival In Test
Before Rishabh Pant: Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has offered valuable advice to Shreyas Iyer, urging the under-fire middle-order batsman to focus on honing his defensive skills to excel in Test cricket. Iyer has recently faced criticism for his struggles in the longest format of the game. In his last seven Tests, Iyer has managed just 187 runs in 12 innings at an average of 17.00, with the best score of just 35.
With Iyer facing criticism for his recent struggles in the longest format of the game, Manjrekar emphasised the importance of Iyer defining his priorities across different formats.
If Test cricket remains Iyer's priority, he must dedicate himself to improving his defensive game against both pace and spin, Manjrekar emphasised. He stressed the need for Iyer to develop his confidence in defence, allowing his aggressive strokes to be an extension of his solid defensive play, rather than merely a response to pressure.
