WI vs Ind fourth T20I: Shreyas Iyer, Hooda to fight for Asia Cup berth as India looks for series win

Rohit Sharma would like to continue his recent good form and positive intent in the two remaining games
Shreyas Iyer's performance will be under intense scrutiny as India gear up for the back-to-back T20I games against West Indies, starting in Fort Lauderhill on August 6, 2022, with the twin objective of winning the series and also firming up squad for T20 World Cup.
India are currently leading the five-match series 2-1 and nothing would be more satisfying than a couple of thumping wins in front of the USA's Indian diaspora, which is anticipating an enjoyable weekend cricket carnival.
However in this current India set-up, if there is one man whose performance will be monitored more than anyone else, it has got to be Iyer.
Deepak Hooda, who has used most of the opportunities handed to him, looks good to outwit Iyer at the moment as far as the big ticket T20 World Cup berth is concerned.
With KL Rahul and Virat Kohli all set to be back in the playing eleven for the Asia Cup, time is certainly running out for the 27-year-old Mumbaikar, who has had scores of 0, 10 (11 balls) and 24 (27 balls) in the three games so far in the ongoing series.
He looked distinctly uncomfortable against the fast and rising deliveries.
While the short ball is his main problem, watching Iyer gives a feeling that he is unable to decide at what pace and which gear would he bat in a T20 game, something that's not the case when he is taking strike in 50-over format.
