In a sensational display of all-round prowess, Kerala cricketer Shreyas has catapulted himself into national selector conversations with a dream domestic season. His consistent performances across all formats have made a compelling case for the coveted India ticket he has long dreamed of.
A Ranji Trophy Powerhouse
The foundation of his remarkable year was laid in the premier first-class competition. Representing Kerala in the Ranji Trophy, Shreyas proved to be a match-winner with both bat and ball. In just six games, he picked up an impressive 16 wickets, showcasing his skill as a potent bowling option. Not content with just bowling contributions, he also made significant runs, scoring a magnificent century and a fifty to underline his value as a genuine all-rounder.
Dominance in White-Ball Cricket
Shreyas's versatility was on full display in the limited-overs arena, proving his form is no fluke. His performances in the two major domestic white-ball tournaments were equally staggering. In the Vijay Hazare Trophy (List A), he was a consistent wicket-taker, finishing with 12 wickets. He mirrored this exact feat in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (T20), again claiming 12 wickets. This dual-format success highlights his adaptability and readiness for the international stage.
The Road to National Colors
This collective body of work from the 2025 domestic season has transformed Shreyas from a promising talent into a serious contender. Selectors are always on the lookout for players who can contribute in multiple departments, and Shreyas has ticked every box. His ability to change the course of a game with the ball and chip in with crucial runs makes him an asset in any squad composition. The dream of wearing the India jersey now seems closer than ever for the Kerala star.
As the cricketing world takes note, the next logical step for Shreyas is a call-up to the India A side or a direct berth in the national team for upcoming tours. His story is a testament to the power of performance in the domestic grind, serving as an inspiration for countless aspiring cricketers across the country.
