Aakash Chopra, backing Shreyas Iyer's selection for Asia Cup 2025, said no Indian player was better than him in middle overs in Champions Trophy 2025. "Shreyas [was] hitting boundaries whenever he wished and removing pressure on batter at...other end," he added. Aakash said Shreyas deserves a place in Asia Cup squad based on his performance in IPL 2025 as well.
