Why shreyas had opened the innings yesterday.Favouritism!!!!!!!.#SanjuSamson @BCCIShreyas Iyer failed to impress in T20I series against West IndiesThe Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain failed to deliver in the recently-concluded T20I series against West Indies, barring the fifth T20I in which he scored 64 runs in 40 balls.In the first three matches, he scored a duck, 10(11) and 24(27) which forced team management to drop him for the fourth T20I. Overall, he managed to score just 98 runs in four innings at a poor average of 24.5.Iyer had a brilliant ODI series against WI but failed to deliver consistently in the T20Is in the run-up to the Asia Cup. The right-handed batter was subject to memes for his consecutive failures and below-par strike rate in the shortest format. He earlier failed to score big in his only chance against England in July.India squad for Asia Cup 2022: Rohit Sharma (C), KL Rahul (VC), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, R Pant (WK), Dinesh Karthik (WK), Hardik Pandya, R Jadeja, R Ashwin, Y Chahal, R Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan.BCCI@BCCI#TeamIndia squad for Asia Cup 2022 - Rohit Sharma (Capt ), KL Rahul (VC), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, R Pant (wk), Dinesh Karthik (wk), Hardik Pandya, R Jadeja, R Ashwin, Y Chahal, R Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan.185983248🚨#TeamIndia squad for Asia Cup 2022 - Rohit Sharma (Capt ), KL Rahul (VC), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, R Pant (wk), Dinesh Karthik (wk), Hardik Pandya, R Jadeja, R Ashwin, Y Chahal, R Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan.Also Read: [WATCH] “Had a great experience”- CSK’s Dwayne Bravo supports Manchester United with best friend Ambati Rayudu at Old Trafford
