Shreyas Iyer became the number 1 Indian in this matter, and answered the biggest question in the Champions Trophy

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Hardik Pandya were there in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. But in the presence of all these star players, Shreyas Iyer added his own page to the script of India becoming the champion. In terms of what he did with his bat, he became the number one batsman in the tournament. The world kept praising Ro-Ko i.e. Rohit-Kohli and Shreyas Iyer quietly seemed to be the answer to the biggest question of the Indian team with his batting. Here the biggest question means the number 4 position in Team India. In the ODI format, Shreyas Iyer has now become the backbone of the Indian team at this number, this has become clear from his performance in the Champions Trophy.

Shreyas Iyer is the number 1 Indian in scoring the most runs

Shreyas Iyer scored 243 runs at an average of 48.60 in 5 matches played in Champions Trophy 2025. During this, he hit 5 sixes and 16 fours. Shreyas Iyer scored all these runs while playing at number 4 position. With this strong performance, he became the highest run-scorer for Team India. That is, in terms of runs, he was the number 1 Indian batsman in the Champions Trophy 2025.

Whenever the Indian innings faltered, Iyer came and took charge - Ajay Jadeja.

Shreyas Iyer's batting was highly praised for carrying the Indian innings in the middle overs. His batting against spin was highly appreciated. After the Champions Trophy final, legendary cricketers like Ajay Jadeja, Wasim Akram, and Nikhil Chopra sat on a YouTube channel called Sports Central and praised Iyer. Ajay Jadeja said that whenever India's innings faltered in the Champions Trophy 2025, Shreyas Iyer not only handled it well but was also seen carrying it forward.

Iyer remained consistent at number 4

Shreyas Iyer did not score a single century in the 5 innings he played in the Champions Trophy 2025, despite this he is the second top scorer of the tournament and India's number one, this is enough to tell how consistent he has been. He scored just 2 fifty-plus scores in the tournament. After winning the final of the Champions Trophy, Shreyas Iyer said that he is happy that his contribution helped the team. He said that he is even more happy because the Champions Trophy is his first ICC title.

BCCI had excluded him from the contract, now he is ready to make a comeback

This is the same Shreyas Iyer, who has achieved the title of being the highest run scorer in the Champions Trophy 2025, who was dropped from the contract list by BCCI last year. But, what he has done now has not only given an answer to BCCI but has also given him the strength to return to the contract list of its players.
