Shreyas Iyer has been included in India’s squad for the upcoming fourth Test against Australia to be played at Dharamsala from Saturday. The 22-year-old has been called up as back-up for Virat Kohli, who injured his shoulder during the third Test in Ranchi.
He had impressed with an unbeaten 202 off 210 balls against the visiting Australia team in a 3-Day Practice match in Mumbai ahead of the series.
The Mumbai-lad has been a consistent performer for Mumbai in the past few seasons. Iyer had burst into the scene after smashing 1,321 runs to become the top scorer of the 2015/16 Ranji season and second player to score 1,300 runs in a single Ranji Trophy competition.
