While Team India is celebrating their entry into the Super Four of the Asia Cup 2025, cricketer Shreyas Iyer is going through a very painful time in his personal life. The stylish right-hander took to social media to share an emotional video that has left fans teary-eyed.

Iyer was left out of the Asia Cup squad, citing balance issues despite having proven his mettle in domestic cricket. Apart from professional woes, personal crises are also testing Iyer in these hard times.

Fans immediately flooded the comments section with condolence and support messages. Many wrote that they could feel Iyer’s pain, while others praised him for sharing such a personal moment with the world.

Even the Punjab Kings, the IPL franchise, left a message in the comment box, writing, “Rest in Peace.”

This emotional post comes at a difficult time for Iyer. Just before the Asia Cup, his exclusion from the squad had already been a big talking point. Now, while the Indian team continues its campaign, Iyer is dealing with the grief of losing a loved one at home.

At the time of grief, Shreyas Iyer is sadly not at his home in Mumbai. Having been appointed captain of India A for the red-ball series against Australia A, he is leading his team in the 1st unofficial Test, which got underway in Lucknow on September 16. 

Australia A batted first and piled up 337 runs by stumps on Day 1. Sam Konstas regained his form with 109 off 144 balls, while Campbell Kellaway also scored 88 off 97. For India A, Harsh Dubey picked up 3 wickets, while Khaleel Ahmed and Gurnoor Brar contributed with a wicket each.
