Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer has not got a place in the Indian Test team for quite some time. He could not be a part of the team even in the recent home season, nor has he been included in the squad of the Indian team for the Australia tour.

Iyer’s bat is performing very well in this tournament. Mumbai team is playing against Odisha in the fourth round of Ranji Trophy 2024-25. Shreyas Iyer managed to play an important innings in this match.

Shreyas Iyer returned to form
