Former England Captain Michael Vaughan said the absence of Shreyas Iyera in the T20i Indian team forces him to scratch his head. Iyer started the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) campaign at a great start when he scored a breathtaking 97* (42), broke five and nine six against Gujarat Titans (GT). Iyer had a great opportunity to get hundreds of IPL one hundred.
However, he asked his pair partner Shashank Singho to keep looking for boundaries, which in their assigned 20 breaks led to a huge score of 243/5. Punjab continued to win a match of 11 runs and Iyer was awarded everywhere for his selfless act.

Michael Vaughan was also left in respect of Iyer’s effortless efforts of six beatings and said he was not in the T20i Indian team, leaving him confused.
“It was brilliant. It was really from the first ball when he hit him on the ground. It suits six, they look very easy and it is definitely not. The Indian T20i team,” Vaughan said on Cricbuzz.
Iyer last played T20i back in December 2023 against Australia when he performed in a series of five matches. In the 51 T20is he played in his career, Iyer scored 1104 runs on average 30.66 and a strike of 136.12 with the eight fifties. Right dough He has not yet played the only world Cup T20.
Meanwhile, he was purchased for an incredible RS of 26.75 Crore at the IPL 2025. He led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to win the third title in 2024. Captain PBKS will be eager to continue their brilliant form for the rest of the season and help his team to win their first IPL title.
