Yuvraj Singh angry on Shreyas Iyer: Rohit Sharma and Co. were once on the verge of an embarrassing defeat in the very first match of the ICC World Cup 2023, however later Virat Kohli and KL Rahul led India to a spectacular comeback in Chepauk. Rohit’s team, which came with the intention of ending India’s World Cup drought on home ground, was struggling at 2-3 runs in 1.6 overs. Team India lost three of its key batsmen and recorded the second lowest score in World Cup history. Yuvraj Singh got angry at this bad condition of the team.
Yuvraj Singh surrounded Shreyas Iyer
The 2011 World Cup winner on X talks about the role of the No. 4 batsman in India’s lineup after India’s shocking mini-batting collapse. The former Indian all-rounder also said that wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul should have come out to bat before Iyer. Taking Iyer under wraps, he expressed hope of better thinking from the player.
Iyer needs better thinking – Yuvraj
Yuvraj Singh tweeted and wrote, “The number 4 batsman will have to bear the pressure!! @ShreyasIyer15 needs better thinking when the team is trying to rebuild their innings! Still don’t understand why @klrahul is not batting at no.4! After scoring 100 runs against Pakistan! Australia may have to pay a big price due to @imVkohli’s dropped catch, don’t remove King as he may take away the game. Game On!!,
No 4 batsman has to absorb the pressure!! Need better thinking from @ShreyasIyer15 when team is trying to rebuild their innings! Still don’t understand why @klrahul is not batting at no 4 ! After scoring a 100 against Pakistan! Dropping @imVkohli might cost australia big time…

Yuvraj’s prediction came true
Yuvraj’s prediction about Kohli’s drop catch came true as the former India captain made the most of the life to play a brilliant innings against Australia. The 34-year-old scored 85 off 116 balls while Rahul remained unbeaten on 97 (115) as India sealed a six-wicket win over the five-time world champions.
