Former India captain Sourav Ganguly expressed surprise at batter Shreyas Iyer's continued exclusion from the T20I side, days after India won the T20 World Cup 2026. He said, "I am absolutely flabbergasted about him not getting a spot in white-ball cricket." "Vaibhav Sooryavanshi...would play in any team in the world, Shreyas Iyer...does not get a T20 game," he added.
