Star Indian batter Shreyas Iyer has opted for a quiet break in Kazakhstan after a rollercoaster month on the field and a notable omission from India’s Test squad for the ongoing series against England.
Iyer , who recently led the Punjab Kings (PBKS) to the IPL 2025 final and then captained the SoBo Mumbai Falcons in the T20 Mumbai League, found himself on the losing side in two consecutive high-stakes matches. Despite a stellar run with PBKS, who topped the IPL league table with nine wins and 19 points, Iyer’s side fell agonisingly short in the title clash, losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by just six runs.

He returned to domestic action almost immediately, turning out for the SoBo Mumbai Falcons in the T20 Mumbai League. The Falcons, guided by Iyer’s experienced leadership, reached the final but were defeated by Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals by five wickets — adding another near-miss to Iyer’s summer.
Adding to the disappointment, Iyer was left out of India’s squad for the ongoing Test series against England — a decision that has raised eyebrows, given his experience and proven ability in the middle order.
Iyer blows off steam in Kazakhstan Away from the pitch, Iyer is now recharging in Kazakhstan alongside close friends. A fan video on social media shows him cruising through the city in a car with Siddesh Lad, a former Mumbai Ranji Trophy player and T20 Mumbai League regular, and another companion. The trio later posed for photos, with Iyer spotted in a white shirt, donning black shades. In another clip, the PBKS skipper is overcome by laughter, reacting to his teammate.
While Iyer’s recent run has been a mixed bag on the pitch, the break comes as a timely reset ahead of what’s shaping up to be an important few months for the stylish right-hander.
