Shreyas Iyer’s struggles in the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2024 have continued to raise concerns among fans and selectors. Leading India D against India B, Iyer registered a five-ball duck in Anantapur, adding to his series of underwhelming performances in the tournament. This latest failure has significantly dented his chances of making a comeback to the Indian national team.
Iyer’s form in the Duleep Trophy has been far from encouraging. In his previous game, he also suffered a duck in the first innings, managing only 41 runs in the second. Throughout the tournament, Iyer has struggled against both pace and spin, looking uncertain and unable to find his rhythm.

So far, Iyer has played five innings in this year’s Duleep Trophy, accumulating just 104 runs, with only one half-century—a score of 54 in the tournament’s opening game. Given his high standards and previous reputation as a promising talent, these numbers have been disappointing.
The ongoing match against India B presented another chance for him to regain form and make a statement, but his first-innings failure left him with a steep uphill battle in the second innings. Fans on Twitter did not hold back their criticism following Iyer’s latest dismissal. Many expressed their disappointment, some even calling for him to be excluded from future Indian team considerations if his form does not improve.

The social media backlash highlights the growing frustration with Iyer’s inconsistent performances in domestic cricket, especially when a spot in the national team is at stake. Now, all eyes are on the second innings, where Iyer will hope to make an impact and silence his critics. For Iyer, this could be a make-or-break moment in his quest to re-establish himself on the national stage.

Shreyas Iyer not helping himself. Goes for a heave on his fifth delivery and holes out at mid on. Another duck for him, another scalp for Chahar. Ind D 175/4. @sportstarweb#DuleepTrophy pic.twitter.com/CMOVcHsTv7

🚨 Shreyas Iyer doesn’t cares about his test comeback because respected players like KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Sarfraz Khan & Dhruv Jurel are there.
He is likely to score more ducks in Irani Cup & Ranji Trophy 🏏
What a selfless player. pic.twitter.com/AucE5O0LST
