Iyer made India return even after losing BCCI contract: Aakash

Former India batter Aakash Chopra said that Shreyas Iyer stayed focused and returned to Team India despite undergoing surgery, losing his BCCI central contract, and being dropped from the team. "Iyer is now scoring runs consistently," Chopra added. His comments came after Iyer played a 79-run knock off 98 deliveries against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025 match.
