The Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer returns to action during the Himachal Pradesh vs Mumbai Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025 match. The Indian middle-order batsman suffered a spleen injury during the Australia tour last October. He is playing his first match and will lead Mumbai against Himachal Pradesh, as Shardul Thakur has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury.
The likes of Shreyas Iyer have gone immense, as he has been selected as vice-captain for the India vs New Zealand ODI series, although his availability depends on fitness clearance.

Aakash Chopra backs Iyer as India’s ideal no. 4 batsman
Former Indian cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra backed the selectors’ decision to drop Gaikwad for Shreyas Iyer, mentioning Rishabh Pant as the right player for No. 4 in Shreyas Iyer’s absence. In a video posted on X, Chopra stated:
Ruturaj Gaikwad plays out of position and scores a ton but still can’t find a place in the 15-man squad. But why? Because Shreyas Iyer has returned and it makes sense because he is the vice-captain of the Indian team. No one has played better at No.4 than him in the last 2-3 years. It is obvious.
Following his further addition to the statement, the former Indian cricketer mentioned:
With KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer in the side, Pant will anyway struggle to find a spot. Pant didn’t play in the Champions Trophy and in the previous ODI series either. There was an opportunity in the previous series but you didn’t give him a chance.
