In these collection of pictures, we find out why former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has slammed BCCI in the middle of the IPL 2025 season. Shreyas Iyer guided Punjab Kings to IPL 2025 Playoffs. PBKS lost to RCB in Qualifier 1 but have chance to reach final by winning Qualifier 2. Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has slammed BCCI for ignoring Shreyas Iyer for India's five-Test tour of England starting next month. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Mohammad Kaif has criticised dual treatment between Shreyas Iyer and Sai Sudharsan. "Sai Sudharsan is a brilliant player, no doubt. But he was picked in the Test squad after a good IPL season (679 runs and counting)," said Kaif on his YouTube channel. "Iyer, meanwhile, has been doing well for so long. He scored some 550 runs in the 2023 ODI World Cup and in the Champions Trophy as well. He is still doing a terrific job with the bat for Punjab Kings – 514 runs and counting. He is captaining too. So on one hand, you are considering white-ball criteria for one player and not for the other." Shreyas Iyer has scored 516 runs in 15 matches in IPL 2025 season with a strike-rate of 170 with 5 fifties. Shreyas Iyer is 1st captain to lead 3 teams into IPL Playoffs.

In the face of their biggest challenge, who else can the five-time champions turn up to than their former skipper, Rohit Sharma, who has led them to all of their five has had a mixed season so far as he has scored 329 runs from 13 innings at an average of 27.41 and a strike rate of 147.53 with three half centuries to his name. He began the season with a duck against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and had a string of low scores in his first seven innings. However, he found his form in the repeat fixture against CSK, scoring a match-winning 76* (45). The opening batter further notched up fifties against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals, but the last three fixtures saw Rohit return to his dismal form, signalling alarming concerns for MI heading into the former MI captain doesn't have a memorable record in the playoffs, having scored just 316 runs from 21 innings at an average of 15.80 and a strike rate of 108.96 with just two fifties to his name.

"He can do it only with the bat because he is no more the captain. You can't tell him now to run the team well. If you look at his numbers -- 329 runs, it's been a mixed bag. After years, he scored two successive fifties, but the truth is in the last four (three) matches, he has not scored big. In the business end of the tournament, that form hasn't been in display," said Chopra on the last match, he played a little out of character. He was not even looking to hit at a good rate, if you leave out one over. But, there is hope. Whatever we say about Kohli, it's true for Rohit too: Cometh the hour, cometh the man. At least Kohli will get one more opportunity, Rohit has only one chance now to prove his worth. There is no Ryan Rickelton and there is no Will Jacks. If you don't have two match-winners, the responsibility will fall on the big pillar in the building and that's Rohit," he the Qualifier 1 game between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings was any indication, the surface in Mullanpur will have some bite in it for the seamers.
