Venkatesh Iyer wants to be like Ben Stokes
In international cricket, a player comes with a goal of his own. A player who is ready to debut in the T20 series against New Zealand also has his own goal. He actually wants to be the Ben Stokes of Team India. Now the player who dreams of becoming Ben Stokes, obviously there will be an all-rounder. So this is the emerging all-rounder of Indian cricket – Venkatesh Iyer, who has made headlines in the second half of IPL 2021.
In the first half of IPL 2021 played in India, no one’s attention went to Venkatesh. But in the second half, his role was the biggest in taking KKR to the final. Venkatesh did this work while opening the innings for KKR. The result of showing the same strength is that he is part of Team India in the T20 series against New Zealand today.
I want to be Ben Stokes – Venkatesh Iyer
Well, after making a place in Team India, he is now dreaming of becoming Ben Stokes. Venkatesh Iyer revealed this intention in a conversation with Sports Yaari. WION quoted Sports Yari as saying that Venkatesh Iyer said, “The work that Ben Stokes does while playing for England or any other team, is very inspiring. He is a match winner in every format of cricket. He performs equally in all the three departments of this game. He is an integral part of his team.”
Iyer said, “Seeing Stokes playing, I also think that I have to be like that too. The team has to perform in every format, in every department. Wickets have to be taken with the ball, runs have to be scored with the bat and when I field, I have to stop runs. Which team does not want a player like Ben Stokes? Seeing Ben Stokes gives me a lot of inspiration.”
Iyer can be like Stokes
By the way, it may take time for Venkatesh Iyer to become like Ben Stokes. But there are many similarities between the two games. Like Stokes, Iyer is also capable of doing wonders with both the ball and the bat, as he has also shown in IPL 2021. Apart from this, his fielding is also excellent. Meaning all the qualities are there, just give that direction to those qualities, which leads to the path of becoming Ben Stokes.
