Shardul Thakur defends Shreyas Iyer amid batting criticism after India’s 4th T20I loss

Following an 87-run defeat to New Zealand in the fourth T20I at Auckland, Shardul Thakur has come forward to support skipper Shreyas Iyer regarding his recent batting form. Thakur emphasized that managing the crease at number four in the shortest format is a demanding assignment, especially while balancing leadership duties.

Iyer managed 22 runs from 11 deliveries during the match, bringing his four-inning total in the series to 80 runs despite India already sealing a 3-1 lead.
