Punjab Kings captain and India's ODI vice-captain, Shreyas Iyer, has taken a positive step toward his return to competitive cricket by resuming batting practice sessions in Mumbai. The 31-year-old showed no signs of discomfort, signaling strong progress in his recovery from injury.
Iyer is now heading to the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for a comprehensive fitness assessment. This evaluation is crucial as Iyer aims to participate in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) to regain match fitness ahead of upcoming international commitments. His successful return to form is vital for both the national team setup and the Punjab Kings franchise, where he is a key leader and middle-order anchor.
The PBKS management will be closely monitoring the assessment results, hoping their skipper can quickly integrate back into competitive cricket and prepare for the IPL 2026 season.
