IND vs WI 2022: “T20 team se bahar karo”- Another Shreyas Iyer failure invites memefest as the batter gets massively trolled

Shreyas Iyer is being targeted for lack of T20I form.

Shreyas Iyer once again failed to make the most of his opportunity in the ongoing T20I series against the West Indies. The team management backed Iyer despite him scoring a duck and 10 runs in the last two matches.

However, the No. 3 batsman only scored 24 runs off 27 balls despite getting a golden opportunity to take India past the finish line in the 3rd T20I at St Kitts on Tuesday (August 2).

The right-handed batter found a new way to get out as he was stumped by Devon Thomas off Akeal Hosein's bowling during the 12th over. The team management’s apparent decision to prepare Iyer as a backup for Virat Kohli ahead of the T20 World Cup seems not to have borne fruit.

Fans expressed their anger at the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain for his multiple failures in the T20 format. Here are some of the reactions:

Pressure piling on Shreyas Iyer

After failing to deliver in the first three matches, Iyer will be under pressure to perform in the next two T20Is, if he gets a chance in the playing XI.

Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid backed the batter after his consistent performances in the ODI series. Unfortunately, he failed to replicate them in the recent T20Is. Since the conclusion of the IPL, he has scored 155 runs across nine innings at a dismal average of 19.37.

Deepak Hooda, who played in the absence of Ravindra Jadeja (rested) on Tuesday, is waiting in the wings to replace Shreyas Iyer at No. 3. Meanwhile, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan are looking to return to the international fold in the shortest format ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup. Another error might take away Iyer’s place in the playing XI.
