The cricket world buzzed with talk after Team India’s Asia Cup 2025 squad was revealed. A major topic of discussion? The surprising absence of star player Shreyas Iyer. Now, actor Varun Dhawan has weighed in, sharing something special about Iyer that has everyone paying attention.
Varun Dhawan’s love for cricket is no secret. We often see him cheering for Team India. So, when Shreyas Iyer’s name was missing from the Asia Cup roster, it sparked a lot of questions. Varun Dhawan then shared a story on his Instagram, and it quickly caught people’s eye. Many believe Varun’s post is a strong show of support for Shreyas Iyer.
The Instagram story Varun shared is actually a video from Shreyas Iyer himself. The video features different clips of Shreyas, where he talks about his journey and feelings. He even speaks about the times he felt he should have been picked for a team but wasn’t. In the video, Shreyas shares his disappointment, saying, “I thought I would be selected for the team, but I wasn’t.”
The video also includes more moments with Shreyas. At one point, he delivers a powerful message: “I believe that no one supports you here except yourself. This is your battle against yourself. No one else will come to help you in your difficult moments.” The video stitches together several such profound clips from the cricketer.
While Varun Dhawan didn’t add any written words to his story, the timing of his share speaks volumes. With Shreyas missing from the Asia Cup lineup, Varun’s post clearly shows his support. It suggests he really wanted to see Shreyas on the team. After a fantastic performance in the IPL, many expected Shreyas Iyer to be a part of the T20 format Asia Cup squad. However, when the team was announced, his name was not there. This left many people quite surprised by his omission.
