India Squad Announcement LIVE Updates - Shreyas Iyer Inclusion

Shreyas Iyer had an outstanding World Cup 2023 for India. He scored 530 runs in the tournament and scored 2 centuries and 3 fifties. But the batter lost his spot in the team after failing to prioritize domestic cricket amid a legitimate injury issue. He also lost the BCCI central contract but rallied back from adversities in style.

Iyer led KKR in magnificent fashion as the Knight Riders won the IPL title after a decade. With Gautam Gambhir at the helm, Iyer has been tipped to make a return to the team and it will be a deserved one as well.
