Iyer made 9 (16) & 54 (44) in the first-round match against India C at Anantapur. He is hoping for his return to the Test squad as India are set to play back-to-back 10 Test matches in the next few months.
The 29-year-old has been in and out of the national team during the last 12 months. After a successful 50-over World Cup in October-November last year, he was released from the squad during England's Tour of India 2024. Later he was also dropped from the central contract list due to showing unavailability for the domestic matches.
However, he later took part in the Ranji Trophy and helped his team win the trophy for the record-extending 42nd time. He also went on to lead his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and helped them win the title for the third time.
