Iyer revealed that he only came to know that he was playing late at night with Captain Rohit Sharma.
“So, the funny story,” Iyer said. “I was watching a film last night, I felt that I could expand my night, but then I got a call from the skipper that you can play because Virat got a swollen knee. And then [I] Returned to my room, left to sleep directly. ,
When asked about Jaiswal, it was asked that Iyer kept his reply diplomatic. “You know what you want to tell me, but I am going to keep it less and cherish this moment, win today.”
Jaiswal’s joint required a reshuffle in the line-up of India, which broke Rohit and Shubman Gill’s partnership of Gill’s partnership, going to number 3 with Gill. ,
Iyer has established himself as India’s ODI No. 4 in recent years, and was an important member of his line-up during his run in the 2023 World Cup final, scoring an average of 66.25, with a average of 66.25, with which Two hundreds were involved. 70 balls 105 in the semi -finals against New Zealand. His strike rate of 113.24 was the best among India’s middle-order batsmen.
The series against England is India’s last set of ODI before the Champions Trophy, which begins on February 19. India is set to open its tournament with a match against Bangladesh on 20 February.
It is not yet clear that India’s original top order for Thursday’s match indicates how they want to line up in the Champions Trophy. With Jaiswal being uncapulated, it is possible that they are looking at him to give him time to play in this series, so that he can prepare him to play, when India loses one of its regular openers. The purpose of Gill’s step in the middle order may be to test it in that role, a middle-order batsman must be required to change. Jaiswal’s left hand can also be a factor: There is no left -handed batsman in the top six of India’s first choice from the World Cup.
