Indian middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer has spoken candidly about his impressive comeback to the international cricket scene this year. After being omitted from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Central Contract last year, Iyer's disciplined focus on domestic cricket for Mumbai played a pivotal role in his return.

In a significant turnaround, Iyer, who was instrumental in India's ICC Champions Trophy victory, emerged as the second-highest run-scorer with remarkable consistency. His contributions were recognized at the CEAT Cricket Ratings Awards in Mumbai, marking a successful year following India's ICC T20 World Cup triumph in 2024.

Iyer's journey from exclusion to excellence was not without challenges. Despite setbacks, including being left off the contract list, his dedication paid off with accolades in numerous domestic tournaments. Iyer's philosophy in ODI cricket, emphasizing adapting to situations and thriving under pressure, was key to his success.
