Ishan Kishan missed his chance to appear in the Ranji Trophy amid the BCCI contract dispute after his Jharkhand national team suffered an exit at the organizational level. But when Mumbai qualified for the final, Shreyas Iyer made an impression in the semi-finals and in the summit clash against Vidarbha, where he scored a brilliant 95 at the set time to help his team clinch the title. If the information is believed to be true, Iyer’s act has caused the BCCI to question whether to reinstate its core contract.
Iyer, along with Ishan, have been excluded from the annual reserves for the 2023/24 season, after ignoring the board’s order not to prioritise IPL over domestic cricket. However, it was later reported that the mid-level batsman had suffered a back spasm after being released from the Indian Test team midway through the English series due to a poor run, which led to him missing the Ranji Trophy quarter-final match, despite the NCA signalling that he was fit.
Iyer then joined the Mumbai team, having recovered from his injury at the Kolkata Knight Riders camp in Mumbai, ahead of the semi-final match. He struggled in his first 3 innings with players exploiting his weakness on short balls, but Iyer bounced back. He came back strong in the final to score 95 ahead of India captain Rohit Sharma, who was at the Wankhede Stadium with his team.
According to a report in Revsportz, BCCI resources reported that Iyer’s appearances at the Ranji Trophy left board officials wondering if they would include his call back in the annual honorarium. It should not be forgotten that Iyer had already competed in the existing season of the Ranji Trophy to get Ready for the England Test Series. He had scored 48 points in a league game against Andhra the previous January.
Back pain had resurfaced in the Ranji Trophy final for Iyer, raising fears that he would miss the first KKR games of the upcoming 2024 IPL season. He did not take the box on the fourth and fifth days of the match, but it turned out to be a precautionary measure. Mumbai measure.
Several reports on Friday revealed that Iyer is in contention to play for KKR earlier in the season. The two-time champions will begin their crusade against 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 23.
