Shreyas Iyer's omission from India's Asia Cup 2025 squad drew criticism and support from Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan.
Dhawan shared throwback videos on Instagram of Iyer discussing previous snubs, highlighting the batsman's resilience. Iyer's exclusion was surprising given his strong IPL 2025 season, where he led Punjab Kings to the final and scored 604 runs in 17 matches.
Dhawan's post resonated with fans who felt Iyer's performance warranted a place in the Asia Cup squad.
