4 players who might replace Virat Kohli for one-off Test match against Afghanistan

#1 Shreyas Iyer

Overall, the 23-year-old has 3989 first-class runs in 46 matches at an average of 54

Shreyas Iyer is probably one of the first names which the selectors would ponder upon to replace Kohli for the one-off Test match. Though the Mumbai batsman wasn't at his brilliant best in this year's Ranji Trophy (321 runs at 46 in four matches), his performances in the previous editions have been swashbuckling.

On top of all that, he was also recently handed the captaincy of Delhi Daredevils after Gautam Gambhir stepped down. Overall, the 23-year-old has 3989 first-class runs in 46 matches at an average of 54 with the highest score of 202*.

Iyer has performed decently in the six ODIs that he has featured in for India, amassing 210 runs with the help of two half-centuries. He might just turn out to be the player India needed as an able replacement for their skipper.
