Shreyas Iyer is trying hard to make himself regular in team India. BCCI strictly advised their players to participate in domestic cricket if not on for international duties. Iyer, who was considered one of the brightest talents in recent times, had found himself out of the national camp. He has no choice but to prove himself again in domestic tournaments like the Ranji Trophy. The Mumbai batsman has taken the BCCI advice seriously and shifted his focus to nurture his game with the state team and other domestic matches.
Shreyas Iyer completed his century off 131 balls against the Maharashtra in the second tour of the Ranji Trophy 2024/25. During this, he hit 9 fours and 3 sixes. This was his 14th first-class cricket century. He had to wait 11 months for this moment.
Recently, Shreyas Iyer also participated in the Duleep Trophy and Irani Cup, but he was not able to perform on a conversing manner. His ton for Mumbai against Maharashtra keeps his hope alive to make a comeback in team India. However, he will have to continue his form in the coming matches as well.
Shreyas Iyer played his last Test match for Team India against England in February this year. Since then, he has been struggling to make a place in the team. Recently, he was selected for the ODI team on the Sri Lanka tour. But he could not do anything special in Sri Lanka either.
This century is a big relief for Shreyas Iyer because he was dismissed three times in the last 10 first-class innings without opening his account. During this, he also made three fifties. Shreyas Iyer played three matches in the Duleep Trophy 2024-25 season. During this time he scored only 154 runs in 6 innings at an average of 25.66.
