A case made for Shreyas on performance in IPL 2025 and Champions Trophy
The statistical evidence supporting Iyer’s inclusion is heavy. His IPL 2025 number one compelling story shows-604 runs in 17 matches in 50.33, six half-centuries and 97 are not the highest score of 97. This strike rate of 175.07 ranked the highest recorded by players who scored more than 600 runs in the IPL season put them with legends. Chris Gayle And Suryakumar Yadav,
Beyond IPL hero, Iyer was the lead run-scorer in India Champions Trophy With 243 runs in five matches, playing an important role in the team’s title victory. His T20I career figures – 1,104 51 outlines their credibility in the smallest format with a average of 136.12 strike rate of 30.66 in 51 matches.
The selection is even more surprised when considering India’s middle-order structure.

The boycott has led to an intense debate about selection transparency and stability, expressing his disappointment with fans of social media platforms and using hot discussions. The controversy threatened the overshadow that what should have been the announcement of a regular team, highlighting the emotional investment of Indian cricket supporters in the team’s selection decisions. As India prepares for the Asia Cup starting on 9 September in the United Arab Emirates, Iyer saga reminds of the fine margin that selects differently from international rejection.
