Earlier, ahead of the first ODI match, Rahul in the pre-match virtual press conference had said:
“Yes, Venkatesh Iyer has been very exciting since the time he has played for KKR in the IPL and then he joined us for the T20 series against New Zealand and he did well,”
Rahul had made it clear that in the coming days, Iyer would be bowling a lot in white-ball games. He had said:
“We are trying to develop Venkatesh (as the sixth bowling option) and we will give him that chance. He has done decently and he gives us that option as the sixth bowler.”
