New Delhi: Mumbai batter Shreyas Iyer slammed fake reports of him missing his side’s next match in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024-25. Iyer, who is currently out of favour from the Indian Test team, has been plying his trade for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. The right-hander slammed a brilliant century in his side’s 2nd round clash against Maharashtra last week.
Iyer was also named in Mumbai’s squad for their upcoming clash against Tripura in the 3rd round which gets underway on Saturday, October 26. However, a report in Cricbuzz claimed that the prolific right-hander has been ruled out of Mumbai’s next game against Tripura as he has been advised to rest for at least a week. The report also stated that Iyer has not travelled to Agartala for the game.
However, Iyer took to X on Wednesday to call out a user, who had shared the fake news of him getting ruled out of Mumbai’s next game. “Shreyas Iyer set to miss Mumbai’s next Ranji Trophy game – Cricbuzz,” the user had posted. “Guys, seriously, let’s do some homework before publishing news,” Iyer wrote, responding to the tweet. The X user later deleted his tweet and apologised to the India batter.
