Shreyas Iyer was overlooked for the Asia Cup 2025 squad, which came as a shock, given that the Punjab Kings captain had a stellar campaign in IPL 2025. He was potent with the bat, scoring over 500 runs, and also helped the team reach the IPL finale for the first time since 2014.

However, the sorrow was short-lived for Iyer, and if reports are to be believed, the BCCI is contemplating appointing Iyer as Rohit Sharma's successor in ODIs. There were reports that Shubman Gill was the front-runner to become the next ODI captain, but it seems the team management has taken a U-turn.
