Virat Kohli and KL Rahul completed India’s amazing comeback at the Chepauk on Sunday, saving the team from an embarrassing defeat in the ICC World Cup 2023. Rohit Sharma’s team was teetering at 2-3 in 1.6 overs, despite being tipped to break India’s World Cup drought at home. With Team India losing three of their top batters and posting the second-lowest total in World Cup history, the knives were out for Shreyas Iyer, who was called out on social media by former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh.

Following India’s surprising mini-batting meltdown, the 2011 World Cup winner expressed his thoughts about the position of the No.4 batter in India’s lineup. The former Indian cricketer also stated that wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul should have batted before Iyer. Three of India’s top four batters were removed for ducks for the first time in ODI history.

The no.4 batsman has to absorb the pressure. Need better thinking from Iyer when the team is trying to rebuild their innings. Still don’t understand why Rahul is not batting at no.4 even after scoring a 100 against Pakistan. Dropping Kohli cost Australia big time, don’t drop the king because he can take the game away, Yuvraj added.

Great innings under pressure to get the side back on track. Deserved to get to a 100 King Kohli at his best good start to the World Cup campaign, Yuvraj concluded. Men in Blue are gearing up to take on Afghanistan in their second match of the ICC tournament at Arun Jaitley Stadium on October 11, Wednesday.
