KKR vice-captain Venkatesh Iyer is one of the finest all-rounders going in Indian domestic cricket. The left-hander has been a consistent performer for his franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and played a major role in the team winning the title last year.
Iyer has also been contributing well for his state, Madhya Pradesh, in domestic cricket. The all-rounder has been decent with bat and ball across the formats, grinding hard to make his comeback in the Indian team, having played last in 2022.
"Definitely. If I know in my head that I've the skill to produce something… if I'm not able to do that, that will be a regret when I finish. Right now, I know that I can actually contribute to India's victories in Test matches as well. I can play T20Is and ODIs. If I can do that, there's no point in not taking the effort to do it. I want to give it my all."
I feel playing in the domestic cricket itself is an achievement - Venkatesh Iyer
"Make no mistake, I feel playing in the domestic cricket itself is an achievement. To represent your state, and especially Bengal, MP… these are cricket states. The moment you get the Indian call-up… yeah, a few failures here and there are fine, but you will definitely do well (if you do well in domestic cricket)."
I do think that if it happens, what am I supposed to do - Venkatesh Iyer on India call-up
“It's just a matter of a few good performances, knowing where I stand in terms of batting, bowling, fitness. Once I do that, I would know the call-up is not far. I'm not thinking about the call-up, but I do think that if it happens, what am I supposed to do."
