Shreyas Iyer has had a wonderful IPL 2024. Not only did he lead Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL trophy, but he also played an important part with the bat. He played so many important cameos that pulled KKR out of trouble a few times.
It was wonderful to see him back in form because he was not at his best after the ODI World Cup. He had a sensational ODI World Cup in India where he was India’s third-highest scorer in the tournament.
But in very bizarre circumstances, BCCI removed him from their central contract list. Iyer was dropped from the Indian test side against England after the first two tests. After that, he was advised to play cricket but Iyer claimed he had back issues and skipped a match.
Shockingly, NCA released an alternative fitness report dismissing the player’s claims. It was revealed that Iyer was attending KKR practice camp during that time. BCCI held a conference and stated that every player who wants to play for the national side has to play domestic cricket.
“Apt Reply” By Shreyas Iyer
Iyer has started his own YouTube channel and he opened up about a contract snub by BCCI. He cited miscommunication and fitness issues as the main reason for the snub. But also believes that his recent accolades are an apt reply to the situation.
He stated ” I had a terrific WC & I wanted to take a break after that and wanted to work on my body and build some strength around certain areas, & due to lack of communication there were some decisions that didn’t go in my favor”
Won Everything!
Iyer further stated, ” I decided that once I win Ranji Trophy & IPL that would be an apt answer for whatever happened in the past & thankfully everything fell to the right place.”
