Team India: The Indian team (IND) will play a three-match T20 series against New Zealand (NZ) from November 17. On Tuesday, the BCCI announced a 16-member squad for this series. Many young faces have been given place in this. Some players have got a place in the Indian team for the first time. One of them is Venkatesh Iyer. Iyer, who made a splash for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2021, can prove to be a very important player in the series against New Zealand. He will strengthen the Indian team not only with batting, but also with bowling. He can prove to be the best all-rounder for Team India.

Venkatesh Iyer’s performance in IPL 2021
Venkatesh Iyer performed brilliantly while playing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL. He played the role of an all-rounder in the team. Iyer played 10 matches in the recent season of IPL. In this 370 runs came off his bat. Apart from this, he also impressed everyone with his bowling and took 3 wickets. He is being seen as a replacement for Hardik Pandya in the team. If he performs well in this series, then his place can be made in the team even further.

What did Venkatesh Iyer say after the selection in the team?
In an interview given to a news agency, Venkatesh Iyer told that he is very happy to get a place in Team India and is ready to play the role of an all-rounder in the team. He says that from the very beginning his focus has been on both batting and bowling. In the Ranji Trophy, he played the role of an all-rounder while playing for Madhya Pradesh. He believes that apart from IPL, he has played an important role in reaching here in domestic cricket tournaments.

Will Hardik be a replacement for Pandya?
The team’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been facing fitness issues for a long time. Even in the T20 World Cup, his fitness was under question and he could not perform well. This is the reason why he was not selected in the team for the New Zealand tour. The outgoing coach Ravi Shastri has also said that the team lacks an all-rounder. In such a situation, the team management is looking at Iyer as an all-rounder. If he can play this role well in the upcoming series, then he can make a place in the team. However, it will not be right to compare with Hardik Pandya.

When will the series against New Zealand be played?
The first T20 match between India and New Zealand will be played on November 17, the second match on November 19 and the third match on November 21. At this time the New Zealand team is looking in a very good rhythm and has reached the final of the T20 World Cup.
