The stylish right-hander is known for his timing and composure — a perfect fit to handle pressure situations in ODIs.
Jagadeesan’s steady form and adaptability make him a strong contender to replace Iyer in the upcoming ODI squad.
With Iyer’s recovery taking time, selectors might consider rotating players to maintain balance in the batting lineup.
The ODI series starting November 30, 2025, could see new faces stepping up in Iyer’s absence — giving India depth and fresh energy.
