Tilak ruled out: 'Sarpanch sahab should be picked' - Ex-India opener backs Iyer

Former India opener Aakash Chopra strongly advocates for Shreyas Iyer's immediate inclusion in the T20I squad. He believes Iyer is the ideal replacement for the injured Tilak Varma, emphasising the need for middle-order stability and experience ahead of a crucial white-ball calendar. Chopra sees Iyer as the most logical choice, even over other contenders like Riyan Parag.
