Kris Srikkanth warns Shreyas Iyer over poor ODI form amid India's heavy defeat
Following India's significant 244-run loss to New Zealand in the fourth ODI, former Indian captain Kris Srikkanth has expressed concern over Shreyas Iyer's declining batting form. Iyer, who captained India in this match, was dismissed for a first-ball duck and has scored only 45 runs in his last four ODI innings. Srikkanth highlighted that Iyer, once a key player in India's ODI lineup, is going through a challenging phase and needs to improve his performance. He also criticized India's heavy reliance on all-rounder Naman Dhir and questioned Kuldeep Yadav's effectiveness after an expensive bowling spell in the same match. Kuldeep conceded 73 runs in eight overs without taking a wicket, raising doubts about his ability in New Zealand conditions.
