In India’s blessed middle order after the stubborn retirement, many fans and former players are urging selectors to reconsider Iyer’s omission, where recent domestic forms have only strengthened his lawsuit.
Hot form in domestic circuits of Shrayas Iyer
In the wake of his exclusion from the test team, Iyer let his bat speak on the domestic red ball circuit in India.

The collapse of the Lord of India screams for choice

I cannot speculate how India is not taking Shreyas Ayer to the UK.
He is the clutch player, the shape of his life. He’s a truly Travis Head player, moving the game forward quickly. This is what I needed yesterday.

Lessons taught by this match:
– Rohit Sharma’s intentions were disliked for no reason at all.
– Jadeja is a fighter jet.
– Bring Shreyas Ayer in place of Nia.
-Bumra is more of a batter than a gil on tough pitch.
-Sack Gautam Gambhir. pic.twitter.com/dffbqnueou– ππ¨π (@jod_insane) July 14, 2025

My Frustration – Why is the team Schreyas Iyer not there after performing well everywhere? He could have played anywhere. He can be our number four in all forms, but favorable and politics holds back Indian cricket.

You can find a better technical batsman than Shrayas Iyer, but you can’t find a clutch mentality player like him.
Cricket is a game won by players who thrive under pressure. And we all know what kind of beast Shreyas is going to put unnie pressure on us!!pic.twitter.com/jootlstn2s

After this tragic series, we will first remove the Gambia and his staff. I’ll take home the Shreyas Iyer. Deletes selected players based on IPL. I’ll bring you a good old Test coach who can grind the team. At least this new team has less ego than the team that left. #indvseng
