Shreyas Iyer has been out of action since the second ODI against Australia in Adelaide, where he injured himself while taking the catch of Alex Carey. A little under four months remain for the 2026 IPL season, but buzz around the tournament has already begun. The retention list announced on November 15 sparked attention, and all eyes now turn to the mini-auction slated for December 16.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) face a major concern as their skipper Shreyas Iyer remains sidelined. The injury's impact was severe enough to cause him to miss the remainder of the series and to require rehab, including a period in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a Sydney hospital. 🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Shreyas Iyer will need another couple of months to return to action, according to the latest update shared by @amitshah22 on Team India batter’s fitness. @ThumsUpOfficial #ShreyasIyer
