Parthiv Patel said on his YouTube channel, “Whenever an Indian team is selected, he is criticized. Shivam Dub and Rinku Singh were selected, both left -handed batsmen were chosen. Therefore, the question arises, why did Shreyas Iyer not get any place?”
However, Patel insisted that Iyer’s exclusion does not reflect her ability, and he simply needs patience and perseverance, as luck sometimes plays an important role in selection.
Somebody had to be inauspicious: Parthiv Patel
The former wicketkeeper said, “But in my opinion, I think someone had to be inauspicious. When you are playing cricket, you want luck to be in your favor, because it makes a big difference. I think Shreyas Iyer needs to do only one thing: he just has to wait and be patient.”
Indian selectors had a very difficult task to choose 15 players for the 2025 Asia Cup as there are many talented cricketers in India. Some of those who were inauspicious to remember some players include Shreyas Iyer, Sai Sudhrashan, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Prasad Krishna, who have all recently been excellent.

Meanwhile, Parthiv Patel also stated that there are many talented players in India, and it is never easy to choose only 15 players from such a strong pool. He said that players like Shreyas Iyer, Sai Sudhar, and Yashsavi Jiswal, who missed out of the fingers, were just inauspicious, but they are the same as those as those, so they just need to wait for their time.
He signed, saying, “My sympathy is with Indian selectors because being an Indian selector is still the most difficult thing. There are such talented players in India that whenever you sit to select a team, you will definitely feel why a player missed or selected a player.
15 players were selected, but Shreyas Iyer, Yashsvi Jaiswal, Orange Cap winner Sai Sudarshan and Purple Cap winner are similarly competent players like fame Krishna. ,
