'Shreyas Iyer is not in Indian T20I team': Alarm bells sounded as 'rest of the world' told to 'catch up' before next WC
Former England captain Michael Vaughan admitted he was baffled watching Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer's thundering knock against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday in Ahmedabad as he realised the India star is not even part of the national T20 side. Punjab Kings' batter Shreyas Iyer during the Indian Premier League 2025 match against Gujarat Titans Priyansh Arya, making his debut for Punjab, got the team off to a brilliant start with his fiery 23-ball 47, before it was a Shreyas Iyer show at the Narendra Modi Stadium. 'Shreyas Iyer is not in the Indian T20I team' Speaking to Cricbuzz after the match, Vaughan was in absolute awe of Iyer's knock, before he realised that he was not even part of the Indian T20I side despite his batting prowess. However, Vaughan added that Iyer's inability to break into the Indian T20I team outlines the level of competition and warned the rest of the world to catch up before the two upcoming ICC tournaments—the T20 World Cup 2026 and the ODI World Cup 2027.
