He gave proof of his ability in this format by scoring 59 off 36 balls in the first ODI against England in Nagpur. In domestic cricket too, 30 -year -old Iyer is in excellent form this season and he scored two centuries for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Ponting said in the ‘ICC Review’, “I am a little surprised that he has been out of the Indian team for the last few years.
