However, R Ashwin was quick to warn fans about mixing formats.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"content\">\n<p class=\"artconfp\">It has been a tremendous run for Shreyas Iyer, winning the Irani Cup, Ranji Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/ipl\" rel=\"noopener\">IPL<\/a> and recently the Champions Trophy, two of those as a captain and will hope to continue his great form and touch with the new team, Punjab Kings in the 2025 edition of the cash-rich league. Iyer, who was India&#8217;s leading run-getter in the Champions Trophy, confirmed that he would play at No 3 for Kings and would hope for a stellar run with the bat and a captain of a new team.<\/p>\n<p>Iyer lost his central contract last year and hasn&#8217;t played Test cricket since February last year. After a good ODI phase against England and in the Champions Trophy, there have been calls for his Test comeback if the IPL goes well for him. However, Iyer&#8217;s former India and ex-Delhi Capitals teammate has warned the fans and experts about mixing the formats and not jumping the gun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTell me one thing: how can a good IPL lead to a Test call-up? How can you improve your Test credentials if you have a good IPL? If you do well in ODIs, someone writes an article about having that player in Tests,&#8221; Ashwin said while speaking on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf someone does well in Tests, people start talking about return in T20Is. Isn\u2019t all this wrong? If you have a good IPL, then only your T20I credentials should improve,&#8221; Ashwin added while saying that he didn&#8217;t have any doubts about Iyer having a great season in IPL, in continuation of his form in the Champions Trophy.<\/p>\n<p>In last 13 innings in Test cricket, Iyer doesn&#8217;t have a 50-plus score and averages 19.63. Iyer has ensured that there wouldn&#8217;t be questions about his place in the ODI side of things but will need to do much more in red-ball cricket for a potential return in Tests. For now, the job requires Iyer to revive Punjab Kings and their fortunes alongside his long-time coach Ricky Ponting.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/test-call-up-based-on-good-ipl-for-shreyas-iyer-r-ashwin-urges-fans-experts-not-to-mix-formats-2025-03-19-981287\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shreyas Iyer was India&#8217;s highest run-getter in the Champions Trophy and leading a new side in the IPL, there are calls for his Test comeback if he does well as captain of the Punjab Kings.
