Aakash Chopra on Shreyas Iyer not picked in Asia Cup 2025 squad: ‘What more can you do than what you have already done?'
One of the iconic knocks of the Indian Premier League 2025 was when Shreyas Iyer smacked a 41-ball 87 to help Punjab get over the line against the Mumbai Indians in the qualifier-2. Although Punjab ended up losing the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Iyer has had a fruitful campaign both with the bat and as captain. However, he was not selected for the upcoming 2025 Asia Cup. 'Shreyas Iyer not being there is a big story. What more will Shreyas Iyer have to do? What more can you do than what you have already done? You had a 600-plus run IPL season, took the team to the final, scored runs in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, played Ranji, and won the Champions Trophy. That's all you can do as a human being,' Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel. 'This is the Asia Cup team. Don't attach the World Cup with it because there are 15 T20Is after this. The world changes in 15 T20Is. If he keeps scoring runs in ODIs, sooner or later, Shreyas Iyer will be part of the team. I have a strong feeling that Shreyas Iyer will be a part of India's T20 World Cup team,' he added. 'Shreyas' name is not even there in the five reserves, and that is surprising. It's understandable that you couldn't have him in the 15 as you can't play him in the XI, and you wanted lower-order batters as backup, where Shivam Dube is there, and Rinku Singh will be given another chance, which is absolutely par for the course,' he said. 'However, a place could have been created in the reserve players at least, where you have kept Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Prasidh Krishna. This player's name could have been there. You haven't kept it there either, and that doesn't send a great signal. The clarity in front of Shreyas' name is completely not there,' Chopra observed.

Ex-IND Cricketer Makes Massive Claim: 'Shreyas Iyer Will Be A Part Of India's T20 World Cup Team'
Last Updated: Aakash Chopra feels Shreyas Iyer should've been in the Asia Cup reserves, questioning his T20I future. Despite a strong IPL 2025, Iyer was left out of the main squad and reserves. Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes Shreyas Iyer should have been included in the reserve players list for the upcoming Asia Cup, noting that his omission raises questions about his future in T20Is. Iyer scored 604 runs at a strike rate of 175 in IPL 2025 and led Punjab Kings to the runner-up position. Despite his significant improvements against short balls and his success against spinners, Iyer was not included in either the 15-member squad for the Asia Cup or the five reserves. This decision puzzled former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, and Chopra shared similar sentiments. 'Shreyas' name is not even there in the five reserves, and that is surprising.

Vinod Kambli Better Than Sachin Tendulkar? Brother Claims 'Never Heard Him Say...'
Last Updated: Virendra Kambli clarified his brother Vinod never claimed to be better than Sachin Tendulkar. Vinod Kambli's brother, Virendra, has said that the former India star never called himself better than Sachin Tendulkar, despite a media rhetoric built around that. Kambli and Tendulkar were best of friends and came through the same Mumbai system to make their debut for India as prodigies. However, while Tendulkar went on to be the highest run-scorer in international cricket and among the most respected in the world, Kambli fell through, plagued by controversies. It's difficult to sieve out which controversy was Kambli's fault and which wasn't, but the contrasting careers have birthed claims that he was even better than Tendulkar, and only lacked the so-called 'discipline'. 'Both had the same talent," Virendra declared to Vickey Lalwani in an interview. 'You can't say my brother was greater than Sachin or vice versa. They were both the same. I never heard my brother say he was better than Sachin." Virendra was also asked about reported rifts between the two cricketers, and about statements from Kambli (which he later took back) that Tendulkar let him down when he needed support. 'No, that's not true," Virendra said. 'Sachin dada has always supported Vinod. Their friendship is still very strong. Sachin calls and checks on him with Andrea (Kambli's wife)." 'Sachin Dada. He was closest to him," he said. 'I don't know about others, but I saw them together when I would go to watch Ranji Trophy matches. I would go to the dressing room to eat, and Sachin Dada, Vinod, and I would sit together and have fun. We would joke around and have a good time." Virendera, too, played some cricket growing up and now runs an academy. 'Don't get carried away': Virendra Kambli's message to young kids Virendra tip-towed around the subject of indiscipline about Kambli, but did mention that he got too carried away in the glamour of the sport. Virendra added that he still advises his students not to 'go overboard'. 'I will give this message: If you play cricket and get glamour, learn to be grounded. Be down-to-earth. I have also been playing cricket for many years. I have learned by watching Sachin Dada and Vinod Dada. I have learned by watching their batting on TV. I have seen their hard work since childhood. I tell the kids to work hard. If you get success after working hard, then hold on to that success. Don't go overboard, as we say. Don't get carried away," he said in the interview. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
