India struggled in the recently concluded T20 World Cup as they did not have a sixth bowling option in the playing XI with Hardik Pandya not fit enough to bowl his full quota of overs. Hardik is not part of this series, after having a below par outing with the bat in the World Cup.
Iyer, who is donning the finisher's role, has the ability to bowl medium pace and picked up three wickets in the IPL for Kolkata Knight Riders. Whether Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma choose to bowl him in the upcoming matches is something everyone will be looking forward to.
