It is the perception that Shreyas Iyer, the head coach of the India National Cricket Team, does not like Shreyas Iyer and is struggling to return to the setup despite his brilliant and consistent performance in domestic cricket in forms.
Even though there were reports that Gautam Gambhir did not want Shreyas Iyer in Squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, it was the chief selector, Ajit Agkar, who forced coaches and selectors to take Mumbaikar.

Later, Iyer played an important role in the victory of India’s title in the United Arab Emirates. After the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the right -handed batsman scored more than 600 runs in IPL 2025, while Punjab Kings (PBKS) took to the finals, but he still failed to go to the Test squad for England Tour.

However, some players were selected in IPL 2025 based on their performance. And last month, Iyer was re -ignored for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 so far, which began on 9 September in the UAE.
He was also not nominated in the store, causing a massive resentment between fans and cricket experts. And many blamed Gautam Gambhir for the continuous snub of the middle-order batsman.
Senior selector, Gautam not Gambhir, Shreyas Iyer’s Asia Cup 2025 lapse
However, it has now been revealed that it was not serious, but a senior selector who is the villain behind Iyer’s omission from the Asia Cup 2025 squad in India.
A Jagran news journalist claimed that “a senior selector” opposed Iyer’s selection due to “personal complaint”, and hence he was not selected for the tournament.
He also revealed that Shreyas Iyer has been a strong contender for India’s ODI captaincy after Rohit Sharma’s retirement, but a selector is not in his favor due to “old rivalry”. Additionally, Shubman Gill’s rise is also affecting Iyer’s possibility of India becoming ODI captain.

Amidst all this drama, Iyer was named a captain for the upcoming two informal trial games against Australia A to silence the outrage and criticism on social media. However, some reports suggest that Iyer may be called back to the Indian team for the West Indies Test.

Shreyas Iyer faced failures after hard work and preparation
Recently, the Indian batsman admitted that it was really disappointing that despite doing everything, not getting a chance. He said on Eku Podcast, “This is only disappointment when you know that you deserve to be in the team, in the playing eleven. At that time, it is disappointing.”
He has also described “Winning ICC Champions Trophy for India as the best spirit”. Meanwhile, Iyer insisted that perfectly preparation is important for every cricketer, as it helps reduce mistakes over time, and it is the only way to perform its best on the field.
Mumbaikar signed, saying, “As we keep saying, you have to rely on your preparation. When you prepare yourself in a certain way, whatever happens on the field is just a reflection of what you do from the field. If your preparation is good and if you don’t perform in one or two games, then you are going to perform in the third game.”
