Eng vs ind: fans gather behind Shreyas Iyer for his inclusion in the test squad after the loss of India to the Lord
As India endured a dramatic defeat at Lord’s in the Third test of the Anderson-Tendulkar trophyLosing all their counters for 170 while pursuing a modest 193, votes among the Cricket community are increasingly strong in support of Shreyas IyerReminder to the test team. With the famous average order of India in flow after the retreat of pillars, many fans and former players urge selectors to reconsider the omission of Iyer, whose recent domestic form has only strengthened its case.
The hot form of Shreyas Iyer in the domestic circuit
In the wake of his exclusion from the test team, Iyer let his bat speak in the interior circuit of the red ball of India. After losing his place in the national side earlier in 2024 and briefly stripped of his BCCI central contract, Iyer rose a convincing return. He delivered consistent performance through formats, but it was his Ranji trophy Record that stood out – the 30 -year -old man has an impressive 68.57 in five games on average during the 2024-25 seasonleading both like a paste and a captain.
This resurgence was not lost for the legends of cricket. Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has publicly published the justification for Iyer’s omission, stressing that a player in such a touch is more likely to succeed at the highest level, in particular in the conditions of pressure transport of a series of tests in England. For many, Ier’s ability to absorb the pressure, run the strike and counterattack it marked it as an ideal candidate for the new Indian intermediate order.
Iyer’s performances have notably played a decisive role not only in the white ball tournaments – where he contributed to the campaign of the India Champions Trophy – but also in the restoration of his reputation and his BCCI contract. Despite the injuries and a bad form plot in 2023 which saw its average decrease in testing, the domestic displays of the Mumbai striker rekindled a debate on its legitimate place in the team.
The collapse of the Spurs Spurs SPurs Selection of an uproar
The narrow defeat of India against the fans and experts of Lord of Lord dissecting the fragility of the order of striker. Chasing 193 – A target which, historically, should have been at hand – the team collapsed against the relentless English bowling alley, losing its last counters on the last day for only 170 points. A promising position after day 4 collapsed, the first counters broke down and the resistance pending through the lower average order.
Such a collapse highlighted the need for experience and composure in high pressure situations. For supporters, the absence of Iyer was obvious, especially given the inconsistency of certain average replacements and the recent retirement of key characters. On social networks, fans stressed that Iyer had scored more points in limited opportunities than others kept in the team, questioning the logic of selectors.
The defeat of India at Lord’s is more than a simple missed test victory – it has become a rallying point for those who believe that the Iyer grain and the form justify a test recall. While the series is advancing and hunting for new leaders is intensifying, the clamor of the reintegration of Iyer seems stronger and stronger, fueled by its exploits in domestic cricket and the immediate needs of the national part.

I just can’t understand how India did not take Shreyas Iyer to England.
He is a clutch player who is in the form of his life. It is exactly the type of Travis Head player who will advance the game quickly. This is what was necessary yesterday.

Shreyas Iyer can play 10x better than Karun Nair but Gautam Gambir will never select him because of his ego. pic.twitter.com/diaudvkkmj

The lessons that this match has taught us:
– Rohit Sharma’s intention was hated for absolutely no reason.
– Jadeja is a fighter.
– Bring Shreyas Iyer instead of Nair.
– Bumrah is a hitting drummer that Gill on difficult terrain.
– Sack Gautam Gambir. pic.twitter.com/dffbqnuou– ππ¨π ππ§π¬ππ§π (@jod_insane) July 14, 2025
It is very shameful that BCCI did not select a clutch player like Shreyas Iyer.

My frustration – Why isn’t it Shreyas Iyer in the team after performing so well everywhere. He could have played everywhere. It could be our n Β° 4 in all formats, but the favorites and politics maintains Indian cricket. Gill should beat 3.#Selectors#Agarkar#Shreyasiyer#Indvseng pic.twitter.com/cwc8lcu1u– Ritik Pratap Singh Patel (@patelritiq) July 15, 2025

You can find hoors more technically good than Shreyas Iyer, but you cannot find a clutch mentality player like him.
Cricket is a game that won by the players who thrive under pressure. And we all know what kind of beast shreyas becomes an independent pressure !!pic.twitter.com/jootstn2s

After this disastrous series, first remove Gambir and its staff. Bring Shreyas Iyer. Remove the selected players according to the IPL. Bring a good old test coach who can grind the team. At least, this new team has fewer ego compared to those that have gone. #Indvseng
