As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy comes to an end, attention is now turning to the ICC Champions Trophy. Shreyas Iyer is likely to make a comeback to the India squad. After the Test match against Australia, India will face England in T20I and ODI series before competing for the prestigious Champions Trophy.
Shreyas Iyer has not been a consistent part of the Indian team after being overlooked for a BCCI Central Contract. However, he returned to the squad during the ODI series against Sri Lanka in August, following Gautam Gambhir’s appointment as head coach.
In the meantime, Iyer has been preparing for his return by playing domestic cricket. India is expected to announce the squads for the ICC Champions Trophy and the IND vs. ENG series simultaneously. The ODI series against England will provide Iyer with crucial playing time right before the Champions Trophy, making it likely that he will participate in both events.
To date, Shreyas Iyer has played 62 One Day Internationals (ODIs) and scored 2,421 runs, with a top score of 128 not out. He boasts an impressive batting average of 47.47, with five centuries and eighteen half-centuries to his name. Facing 2,392 balls and maintaining a strike rate of 101.21, he consistently supports India’s middle order. His aggressive and effective batting style is further evidenced by his tally of 24 sixes and 62 boundaries.
