India's batting legend, Sunil Gavaskar, in his column for the local magazine, pointed out:
"He did miss the quarter-finals, but that was also the time he had informed the team management of his inability to play the third Test match due to some pain in his back if he batted for some length of time. However, the trainers at the NCA certified that his markers were clean and they found him fit to play. That seemed to have gone against Iyer. Threshold of pain is an individual thing and no trainer can judge that."

KKR captain Shreyas Iyer faced a double blow as his team not only lost the match against Rajasthan Royals but also incurred a heavy fine. He was fined Rs 12 lakh for a slow over rate against Rajasthan, as stated in the IPL press release. This was his team's first offense of the season under the IPL Code of Conduct related to the minimum over rate.
In the match, KKR scored 223 runs, courtesy of Sunil Narine's stormy century. Rajasthan, in reply, initially struggled at 121 runs for the loss of 6 wickets but was propelled to victory by Jos Buttler's unbeaten century.
Reflecting on the loss, Iyer remarked, "It is difficult to explain what happened. We have to face it and move on. I'm glad it happened now and not at the end of the tournament. The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes and come back stronger." He also mentioned the strategy to counter Buttler's aggressive batting, stating, "Buttler was hitting the ball easily, so I thought let's reduce the speed of the ball and give it to Varun Chakraborty. But he played the big shot."
Despite the loss, there was no change in the points table. KKR remains in second place with four wins in six matches, while Rajasthan Royals lead with six wins in seven matches.

Speaking to the media ahead of the IPL 2024 final, Shreyas Iyer admitted to struggling in the Test format, but reckoned that his focus throughout IPL was to give his best performance irrespective of the outside noise:
“I was definitely struggling after the World Cup, in terms of the longer format. When I raised my concern, no one was agreeing to it. But at the sane time the competition is with myself. When IPL was approaching, all I wanted to see to it that I can put my best foot forward and whatever planning or strategising we did before, we executed it to the best of our abilities. The transformation from red-ball cricket to white-ball is difficult as a batsman, but once you get used to it, you match with the other teams.”

Former Chief Selector MSK Prasad recently spoke about the time his selection committee invested in Iyer. The young India player was expected to replace Virat Kohli and Rohit as a captain, but unfortunate injuries put him behind on the list.
“We had a succession plan ready for captaincy. We were looking for a player who could lead India post the MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma eras. Shreyas Iyer was groomed, and he led India A in close to ten series, winning eight. We invested in him, unlike Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja.
“He was unfortunately injured, and Rishabh Pant did well during that time. Prior to that, Iyer was Delhi Capitals‘ captain, and working under the coaching of Ricky Ponting helped him. He did a good thing by joining Kolkata Knight Riders and was helped by the franchise. He looked at ease there. With young players like Iyer, you need a better support system to help them in leadership duties. I am sure Shreyas Iyer will become a good captain in two or three years,”
Shreyas is currently out of the Indian team and was not considered for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The BCCI did not offer him a new central contract after the batter refused to play domestic cricket.

Shreyas Iyer Spotted Training as India Batter Eyes Reunion With Gautam Gambhir Ahead of Sri Lanka Tour
India batter, Shreyas Iyer seems to be putting in the work as a video surfaced of the Indian Premier League-winning captain training on a race track despite the inclement weather that was on display.
He was seen taking part in a training session which took place in Mumbai as he eyes a possible comeback in international colours. Iyer gained a lot of plaudits after he led the Kolkata Knight Riders to claim their third title in the IPL 2024.
His batting has also seen significant improvement where despite being shifted up and down the order, he was able to play according to the situation to put the team in a better position.
The 29-year-old who is hitting his athletic prime was denied a central contract which was released on February 2024 following a poor show in the home Test series against England which led to him being dropped.
Following his central-contract exclusion, he has not been part of the Indian set-up even in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 winning squad.
It was suggested that miscommunication is the reason why Iyer has been out of international action despite playing a big role in India’s ODI World Cup 2023 run through to the final.
He had undergone back surgery in 2023 and with the help of the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore, he was able to get back to his best which then led to him leading KKR to the coveted title.
Another interesting aspect is the appointment of Gautam Gambhir as the Head Coach of the Indian Cricket Team. The former India opener was a part of the very same KKR set-up as a mentor and it could be a possibility that he could make a case for Iyer receiving a call-up.
India’s upcoming assignment is the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka where the two sides will take on a 3-match T20I and ODI Series which will begin on July 26, 2024.
The BCCI is yet to announce the squad that will be part of this tour and with the openings in the T20I squad following the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Iyer will be gunning for an international comeback.

Could be bad news for Indian fans. The guy sucks against genuine pace & in particular against short pitched stuff. Overrated batter.

He’s Gambhir’s KKR wonder child so no surprise that he’s back in contention. Ideal opportunity for stat padding against his favourite opposition…

Yeah he'll likely come out this with record scores but it'll tell us nothing about whether he's one for the future. Guess he'll be useful in the Champions Trophy if we're going to play it in Sri Lanka, UAE or (unlikely) Pakistan. We can take stock after that.

After Gambhir's selection, his change of fortunes was obvious.
Not really. People can do their post hoc analysis about favoritism et al but in Indian cricket the level of competition for batters is insane.
If any other Asian batter had had a WC campaign like Shreyas including a 70 ball hundred in a knockout game he would have been a white ball captaincy shoo in and trending towards being picked in country's all time XI, forget present day.
Ishan Kishan scored a double in ODIs and he got put on squad reserves and that too only because Pant was out. Even in Aus today Ishan would be the all format lock for keeper batter, let alone tier 2 teams.
Ruturaj would also walk into probably 8 of the top 10 teams today as an all format opener but in India he is firmly 4th choice behind Rohit, Gill, Yashasvi and barely gets a game.
Selectors are not being unfair. It is just the way things are for ICT batters. Guys like Sanju have made their peace with it and focused on keeping themselves ready for whenever they get called upon. The others also should adopt such mentality.

At the end of the day reality is its about resource depth.
Today Venky Iyer is closer to being in an India squad than Ishan or Gaikwad simply because his skillset as batter who bowls seam up is so rare in India. If he has one good IPL/domestic season where he's chipping overs in and either of Dube/Pandya loses fitness or form he comes straight into XI.

Iyer has earned his spot after fabulous performance in World cup 2023, I understand that he is not suitable for SA pitches where the next world cup is but as of now the eyes are on Champions trophy and on Asian pitches he is up there with the very best, can accelerate as well as build partnerships on low bounce tracks.
Nothing wrong with his selection

Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel:
"It's interesting that last time when we beat Bangladesh in Bangladesh, Shreyas Iyer gave a very important performance in the last match. We won because he played a crucial knock, but since then, the world has changed. I don't see any chances for Shreyas Iyer in Tests at the moment."
"Whoever is there will also not be able to play all the matches. The guys who are part of this team, which includes Sarfaraz, KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel, I feel they only won't be able to come in the XI. So where will Shreyas Iyer come in this?"

Shreyas Iyer’s Unbeaten 152 Drives Mumbai To 385/3 Against Odisha
Shreyas Iyer returned to Ranji Trophy with another cracking 152 not out to power Mumbai to a dominating 385/3 against Odisha in their Elite Group A clash’s first day, here on Wednesday.
Iyer found strong support from Siddhesh Lad, who made 116 not out (234 balls, 14x4s) as the two middle-order batters tore into the Odisha bowling, putting on 231 runs for the unbroken fourth wicket stand.
India batter Iyer’s belligerent knock off 164 balls included 18 fours and four sixes and this was his second consecutive ton in Ranji Trophy this season as he scored 142 in his previous appearance.
Iyer and Lad came together when Mumbai were rocked twice in quick succession by Biplab Samantaray, who denied Angkrish Raghuvanshi (92 off 124 balls, 13x4s, 3x6s) his maiden ton and trapped skipper Ajinkya Rahane leg-before for a golden duck.
