Shreyas Iyer is set to return to international cricket in the first ODI against New Zealand on Sunday, January 11th. He had been sidelined since October 25th, 2025, due to an injury sustained against Australia. Iyer proved his fitness in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, earning his place back in the ODI squad. He is reportedly close to achieving a batting record that Virat Kohli did not accomplish.
