Now Shreyas’ entry in the club of Sachin and Virat? The figures are saying something that even the fans will be surprised to hear.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever there is talk of records in the world of cricket, the first name that comes to our mind is Virat Kohli. Virat has set such standards of batting in the last decade, that even touching them seems like a big dream for any other player. But recently some such news is coming which has forced the fans of Team India to discuss. and that name is Shreyas Iyer.

The truth is that due to the form Shreyas Iyer has been in for some time now, a very old and ‘big’ ODI record of King Kohli seems to be in danger.

What is that special record?
Actually, we are talking about being the fastest to reach a particular run number (possibly 3000 or more) in ODI cricket. Shreyas Iyer, who is called the backbone of Team India’s middle order, is now at the stage where he can leave even Virat Kohli behind in terms of innings and pace. If he continues his explosive form in the next few matches, he will create a new milestone in the history of ODI cricket for India.

Iyer’s silent blast
Often all our attention remains on the opening pair or star players, but the way Shreyas has handled the ‘middle order’ in the last two-three years is praiseworthy. Be it returning from injury or surviving pressure matches, Iyer has proved that he has the traits of a big player. It may be too early to compare him with Kohli, but the ‘figures’ that are coming out are indicating something else.

Kohli vs Iyer: A different battle
When Virat was in his prime form, he scored runs in every corner of the world. But the interesting thing is that as of today, Shreyas’s strike rate and his consistency is beating even Virat’s initial figures in many cases. It is really heartening to see that the high standards set by Kohli are now being challenged by new talent.

Good sign for Indian cricket
As a cricket lover, it’s great to see when one legend is replaced by another. Time and upcoming matches will tell whether the records will be broken or not, but this effort of Shreyas Iyer has made it clear that he is going to be one of the biggest pillars of Indian batting in the future.

Will Shreyas really be able to take this crown from Virat? The upcoming few ODI matches will answer this question. But for now, fans are just saying, “This guy is going to do something big!”
