Shreyas Iyer targets playing Test cricket after excelling at No.4 in ODIs for Team India

For the major part of 2019 season, Team India failed to solve the puzzle related to the No.4 slot and the issue largely troubled them during the 2019 World Cup, making it one of the reasons of the team's exit in the semi-finals of the marquee event. Team India did try Ambati Rayudu, Vijay Shankar, Rishabh Pant in that slot, but failed to zero down on one player. It looks like the problem could come to an end with the emergence of Shreyas Iyer. Since exiting the World Cup last year, the team management has given Iyer many opportunities to prove himself and the Mumbai batsman has repaid their faith with strong numbers.
