Speaking of the tweet, Iyer tweeted: “Great speaking with you @BenChilwell Good luck to you for the rest of season! Top man.” Speaking of Shreyas Iyer, if he would have been fit, they currently, he should have been playing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the ongoing IPL 2023. In his absence, Nitish Rana is captaining the side. However, the Team India management picked up Ajinkya Rahane in place for him in the WTC squad. 

Regarding that, on Star Sports, Irfan Pathan said: "Had Shreyas Iyer been fit then Rahane would not have got the place in the WTC Final side. As far as the current form is concerned, he is looking in great touch. The format in which he is playing now is completely different but Rahane's performance on foreign pitches has always been good and this has gone in his favour.”

Meanwhile, the former Team India coach, Ravi Shastri, while talking to ESPNCricinfo, said: “I’m so glad he’s made it to the side. He batted beautifully in these two-three games he’s played in the IPL, has looked in great touch. And let’s not forget the experience he has. The moment Shreyas Iyer was injured, you had to look in that direction”. However, fans will hope that Shreyas Iyer will be fit enough to play for Team India in the upcoming ODI World Cup in India.
