Rewards Shreyas Iyer has been getting for these achievements in the last six months:

• After playing continuously from Asia Cup(30–8–2023) to Test(05–02–2024), his back injury relapsed and he returned home citing injury. Only to be accused by NCA and BCCI of faking his Injury.

• Was removed from the BCCI Contract List without any meaningful explanation onto why such a decision was taken.

• After KKR’s successful stint in IPL 2024, no credit was given to Shreyas instead all credit goes to GG. Of course GG deserves credit, but we should also remember who was leading the team on field with his tactics and batting.
