Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer has been struggling to make a place in Team India for some time, during which his performance has also been very poor. Even in domestic cricket, big innings were not coming from his bat. But now he has been successful in playing a big innings in Ranji Trophy. He scored a century for Mumbai in the match being played against Maharashtra team. This innings is very important for his career, because due to his poor performance he has had to face a lot of criticism.

Shreyas Iyer finally scored a century

Shreyas Iyer completed his century in 131 balls against Maharashtra team in the second tour of Ranji Trophy 2024/25. During this, he hit 9 fours and 3 sixes. This is his 14th century in first class cricket. He had to wait for 11 months for this century. Recently, Shreyas Iyer also participated in Duleep Trophy and Irani Cup, but he was a flop here, after which he could not return to the Indian Test team. But his innings has raised hopes of his comeback in the team. However, he will have to continue his form in the coming matches also.

Was in bad condition in last 10 first class innings

This century is quite a relief news for Shreyas Iyer, because in the last 10 first class innings, he could score only 3 half-centuries and was out 3 times without opening the account. Shreyas Iyer played all three rounds of Duleep Trophy 2024-25. Shreyas Iyer had scored only 154 runs in 6 innings of these three matches at a poor average of 25.66. In the Irani Trophy also, he scored a half-century in the first innings, but was out in the second innings after scoring 8 runs in 12 balls. At the same time, in the first round of Ranji Trophy, he could not open his account even in the first innings against Baroda.

Let us tell you, Shreyas Iyer played his last test match for Team India against England in February this year. Since then he has been struggling to make a place in the team. Recently he was selected in the ODI team on Sri Lanka tour. But he could not do anything special in Sri Lanka either. Apart from this, Team India is currently playing a 3-match T20 series against New Zealand, in this series also Iyer had missed his place.
