Gambhir Questioned Over Shreyas Iyer's Asia Cup Snub

Former cricketer Sadagoppan Ramesh has criticized Gautam Gambhir, alleging that Gambhir opposed Shreyas Iyer's inclusion in the Asia Cup squad despite Iyer's strong recent form. Ramesh pointed to Iyer's impressive performances in the IPL and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as evidence of his deserving a spot.

This criticism adds to the growing controversy surrounding Iyer's omission from the Asia Cup team. Many fans and experts have expressed surprise at the decision, given Iyer's consistent run-scoring and leadership experience with the Punjab Kings in the IPL.

Ramesh's comments raise questions about the selection process and whether personal biases played a role in Iyer's exclusion. The controversy underscores the high stakes and intense competition for places in the Indian national team.
