After Shreyas Iyer scored a 17-ball 15 in Champions Trophy 2025 match against Bangladesh, ex-Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said Iyer doesn't give the impression of someone who will be around for the long haul. Manjrekar praised Shubman Gill for scoring a 129-ball 101 in his CT debut, saying, "[Gill] is batting at the right position to make a huge impact."
