Auqib Nabi’s Ranji Trophy Heroics Not Enough For India vs Afghanistan Test Squad Selection

Rohit Iyer is a senior cricket correspondent for News18, known for his meticulous breakdown of batting techniques and his sharp analysis of IPL auction dynamics. A Loyola College, Chennai graduate, he cut his teeth covering Tamil Nadu’s vibrant domestic circuit—from the Ranji Trophy to the TNPL—before joining the national sports desk. Rohit’s writing is distinguished by his ability to explain the biomechanics of a cover drive as clearly as the strategy behind a multi‑crore auction bid. He has reported live from multiple IPL seasons, bilateral series, and junior World Cups, with a special focus on the pathways that turn promising teenagers into international stars. A Chennai Press Club awardee and a regular voice on News18’s cricket programming, Rohit combines the curiosity of a coach with the rigour of a journalist, always seeking the human story behind the runs and records.
