Former India player Aakash Chopra has questioned the Indian team management for not playing Shreyas Iyer in the fourth T20I against New Zealand. "My biggest point is, why have you kept Shreyas Iyer in the team? I dare say, what's the logic of making Shreyas Iyer sit out now? Aakash Chopra also questioned Suryakumar Yadav for opting to field first in the fourth T20I against New Zealand. He highlighted that the decision conflicted with the call not to play Shreyas Iyer if the intention was to prepare for the T20 World Cup 2026.
