For the two-time IPL champions, the wait lasted 10 years as Shreyas Iyer sang a redemption song following a topsy-turvy start to the year. Little wonder then that he chose to imitate the man who knows all about rising from setbacks.

Following his impressive contribution of 95 runs on the third day, propelling Mumbai towards their 42nd title win, Iyer's absence was notable on the fourth day. A team source confirmed his recovery, ensuring his availability for the crucial final day of the Ranji Trophy season.

Legendary former India cricket captain Kapil Dev has thrown his weight behind the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) decision to terminate central contracts for players who have shown a lack of commitment to domestic cricket.

Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane on Friday backed Shreyas Iyer to put the contractual turmoil behind him and deliver a punchy performance for the team in the Ranji Trophy semifinal against Tamil Nadu, beginning here on Saturday.

Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan doesn't want either Shubman Gill or Shreyas Iyer to be dropped from the Indian playing XI for the second Test against England as he feels their experience is crucial in the absence of senior players like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul.

Indian middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer will lead Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024, the management announced on Thursday.
