Mumbai cricket team batter Shreyas Iyer called out a report of the star being reportedly injured and hence missing the Ranji Trophy clash against Tripura. A Cricbuzz report had claimed that Iyer would not be a part of the next Ranji Trophy game as he needed some rest. However, Shreyas took so social media platform X on Wednesday to rubbish the report and asked for “homework” to be done before publishing such content.
Shreyas Iyer calls out fake news on injury
The report claimed that Shreyas Iyer would need rest for at least a week, citing BCCI officials and hence would miss the clash against Tripura that begins on October 26. Iyer has been playing regular red-ball cricket in the domestic circuit since August as he aims at making his comeback to the Indian Test side.

Shreyas Iyer and his Test ambitions
After being snubbed from the BCCI Central Contract list earlier this year and losing his place in the Indian side, Shreyas Iyer is hell bent on making his comeback. Heeding to the directions of the selectors to play red-ball cricket in order to stay in contention for a spot in the Test side, Iyer took part in the Buchi Babu tournament, the Duleep Trophy, Irani Cup and is now playing Ranji Trophy. He recently smashed a century in the game against Maharashtra, his first in domestic red-ball cricket since 2021.
Shreyas Iyer stated that he was focusing on “controlling the controabbles” and keeping his body in shape. The swashbucling middle-order batter is currently out of the favour of selectors and last featured in a Test earlier this year in the IND vs ENG series.
“Absolutely! That’s why I’ve been playing. I mean, or else I would have given a reason and sat out. I am absolutely keen for a comeback but yes, as we say, control the controllables, and my job is to keep performing and keep participating (in matches) as much as possible and also see that my body is in the best shape. So, I’ll take the best decision possible according to that,” Shreyas Iyer said.
