In a significant boost for the Mumbai state team, three high-profile IPL stars—Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shivam Dube—have joined the squad for the final league stages of the 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy. Their inclusion provides Mumbai with elite firepower as they push for a spot in the knockout rounds.
The headline return is that of Shreyas Iyer, whose participation serves as a crucial 'Return to Play' fitness test following a serious spleen injury sustained in late 2023. Iyer, the newly appointed ODI vice-captain, must prove his match fitness across the 50-over format before rejoining the national side for the ODI series against New Zealand starting January 11. Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube are utilizing these domestic fixtures to maintain their white-ball rhythm ahead of a busy international schedule, joining young Rajasthan Royals
