IPL 2025 Punjab Kings captain, Shreyas Iyer, hopes to make a return to the Indian Test team. He did great in the current champions trophy, scoring 243 runs and helping India to win.

Former cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin questions whether good IPL play can lead to a test call-up. He asked, 'How can a good IPL lead to a test spot?' Ashwin feels that doing well in T20 should not mean a player gets chosen for tests.

Iyer, known for his strong play in both the IPL and the Champions Trophy, is eager to prove himself. He wants to be the number 3 batsman for his team in T20s. 'I want to mark my spot,' Iyer said.

As the IPL continues, Iyer’s score could be crucial for his hopes of rejoining the test side. Fans are keen to see if his strong play this season will help him earn a spot on the national team. With every match, Iyer’s skills will be on display, and his aim is clear: perform well in IPL and catch the eye of the test selectors. He just needs to show the form required to claim a Test spot.
