The India star slammed a 131-ball hundred to put Mumbai in a strong position. The right-hander smashed nine fours and three sixes to complete his 14th first-class hundred. The 29-year-old, who is out of the Indian Test team since February this year, was named India D captain in the Duleep Trophy. He played a total of six innings in the start-studded tournament but failed to hit a single hundred. His highest score was a 54 against India C. Iyer was also dismissed for duck twice. The stylish Mumbai batter played for Mumbai in the Irani Cup 2024 against Rest of India in Lucknow. He scored 57 in the first innings and eight in the second. Iyer's wait for a red-ball hundred continued in Mumbai's first Ranji Trophy 2024-25 match of the season against Baroda. He was dismissed for a duck in the first innings, and 30 in the second. Will Shreyas Iyer be named in India A squad for Australia tour? Shreyas Iyer has hit a timely hundred but will it be enough to grab the attention of the selectors who are expected to announce India A squad for two unofficial Test matches against Australia A soon. The first four-day match will be played in Mackay from October 31, while the second one will start in Melbourne from November. Shreyas Iyer is facing competition from Baba Indrajith, Devdutt Padikkal, and Ricky Bhui for a spot in the middle-order. The likes of Ishan Kishan and Abishek Porel are also likely to find a place in the India A squad. Iyer made a bright start to his Test career with a hundred in the debut match against New Zealand, but the performance dipped later. He has played a total of 14 Test matches and scored 811 runs at an average of 36.86. Talking about the match between Mumbai and Maharashtra in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25, the Ajinkya Rahane-led defending champions bundled out Maharashtra for 126. Mumbai have now taken their first innings lead over 200 after hundreds from Iyer and opener Ayush Mhatre.
