Shreyas Iyer to make India comeback?

It will be a limited-over series, where both teams will play 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs. With majority of the senior players likely to take a break due to workload management, Gambhir is looking to build a team, who not only capable of winning this series but has also the potential to represent India in long run.

Iyer excelled as captain of team KKR in IPL 2024 and led the franchise to win their third overall league title. Interestingly, Gautam Gambhir, who led KKR to the first 2 titles, was also present in the KKR’s dug out this time, albeit as a mentor.
