As India Supports a dramatic necklace at Lord’s Third test of Anderson-Tendulkar TrophyChasing a modest 193, losing all his wickets for 170, increased loudly in support of voices among the cricket community Shreyas IyerThe test squad remembers. With India’s famous middle order after the retirement of the Stalwarts, many fans and former players are urging the selectors to rethink Iyer’s lapse, whose recent domestic form has only increased their case.
Hot form of Shreyas Iyer in domestic circuit
In view of his exclusion from the Test squad, Iyer allowed his bat to talk in the circuit of India’s domestic red ball. After losing its place in the first national side in 2024 and briefly snatched from its BCCI central contract, Iyer made a compelling comeback. He performed continuously in the formats, but it was his Ranji Trophy Records that stood out -30 year old in five matches during 68.57, an average of 68.57 2024-25 seasonLeaders from the front as both a batsman and a captain.
This revival was not lost on cricket legends. Former India opener Virender Sehwag Publicly questioned the argument behind Iyer’s lapse, emphasizing that a player is more likely to succeed at the highest level in such a perfect touch, especially under pressure-co-conscious circumstances of a test chain. EnglandFor many people, soaking Iyer’s pressure, rotating the strike, and the counter-haraley marked him as an ideal candidate for the new Indian middle order.
In particular, Iyer’s performance was not only played an important role in the white ball tournament-where he contributed to India’s Champions Trophy campaign-but also in restoring his reputation and BCCI contract. Despite a patch of injuries and poor form in 2023, the domestic performance of the Mumbai batter ruled the debate about their right location in the squad.
India’s Lord’s Fall Spider Selection Outrage
India’s narrow necklace among Lord’s left fans and pundits severed the fragility of the batting order. Chasing 193 – a goal that should have been historically within access – the team served against tireless English bowling, lost their last wickets in the last day, for only 170 runs. After the day 4, a promising position quickly unheard, with the initial wicket, the tambling and resistance faded in the lower middle order.
Such collapse underlined the need for experience and composition in high pressure situations. For supporters, Iyer’s absence was shining, especially given the incompatibility of some middle-order replacement and the recent retirement of major data. On social media, fans reported that Iyer scored more runs in limited occasions than others in the squad, with questions on the selectors’ arguments.
India’s defeat in Lord’s is more than just a missed Test win – it has become a rally point for those who believe in Iyer’s grit and remember a test. As the series moves forward and the hunting for new leaders intensifies, the clamor for the restoration of Iyer is ready to grow fuel from their adventures in the immediate needs of domestic cricket and national side.

I cannot just tell how India has not taken Shreyas Iyer to England.
He is a clutch player who is as his life. He is actually a travis head -like player who will quickly pursue the game. This is what was needed tomorrow.

Shreyas Iyer can play 10x better than Karun Nair but Gautam Gambhir will never choose him due to his ego. pic.twitter.com/diaudvkkmj

This match taught us:
– Rohit Sharma’s intention was hated for exactly without any reason.
– Jadeja is a fighter.
– Bring Shreyas Iyer in place of Nair.
– Bumrah is a batsman batsman compared to Gill on strict pitches.

It is very embarrassing BCCI did not choose a clutch player like Shreyas Iyer.

My frustration- Why is Shreyas Iyer in the team after performing so well everywhere. He could play everywhere. It can be our number 4 in all formats, but Favorism and politics are keeping Indian cricket down. Gill should be 3 bat.#Selectors#Agarcar#Shreyasiyer#INDVSENG pic.twitter.com/cwc8lcu1uq– Hrithik Pratap Singh Patel (@Patelritiq) July 15, 2025

You can find a more technically good batsman than Shreyas Iyer, but you cannot find a clutch mentality like him.
Cricket is a game that has been won by players who thrive under pressure. And we all know what kind of animals are the pressure of Shreyas !!pic.twitter.com/jootlstn2s

After this disastrous series, first remove the serious and their employees. Bring Shreyas Iyer back. Remove the selected players on the basis of IPL. Bring a good old test coach that can grind the team. At least this new team has less ego, which is less than those. #INDVSENG

Why is Shreyas Iyer left out of the Test squad?
