Shreyas Iyer played a fantastic role for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy as well. The right-hander played an aggressive brand of cricket even in the red-ball format and made sure that he helped his team win the crucial games in the tournament, and also the Irani Cup.

Coming to his Test career, Iyer last represented the India National Cricket Team in whites during the England series at home in 2024. After that, he was dropped due to his weakness against short balls. The batter overall has a decent record in red-ball cricket and would be keen to come back.
