Wed Nov 06 13:24:56 UTC 2024: ## Shreyas Iyer’s Century Sparks Calls for National Team Return After KKR Release
**New Delhi, November 6, 2024:** Shreyas Iyer, released by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for the upcoming IPL season, is making a strong statement in domestic cricket with back-to-back centuries in the Ranji Trophy.
Iyer, who captained KKR to victory last year, smashed a stunning century on Monday against Odisha, reaching the milestone in just 101 balls. This is his second First-Class century in a row, following his century against Maharashtra.
Fans on social media have been quick to demand Iyer’s return to the Indian national team, pointing to his current form as evidence that he could be the key to plugging gaps in India’s batting lineup.
“BCCI should realize their mistake,” one fan wrote, highlighting the sentiment shared by many.
Iyer’s impressive performance comes after a disappointing release from KKR, who opted not to retain him for the upcoming season.
With his recent centuries, Iyer is sending a clear message to the selectors that he is ready for a return to the international stage.
