Tilak Varma Out? Mumbai Star Shreyas Iyer Eyed for T20 World Cup Spot

• Tilak Varma is likely out of the New Zealand T20 series and potentially the T20 World Cup 2026 due to 'testicular torsion' requiring surgery.
• Varma, in tremendous form with two T20 centuries, needs at least a month to recover, creating a void in Team India's middle order.
• Shubman Gill was considered a replacement, but BCCI might opt for Shreyas Iyer instead of Gill or Ruturaj Gaikwad.
• Shreyas Iyer has fully recovered from his injury, completed rehabilitation at BCCI's Centre of Excellence, and is ready for the New Zealand ODI series.
• Iyer's potential inclusion could see him play in the upcoming New Zealand series, filling Varma's spot.

Why It Matters: Tilak Varma's injury opens T20 World Cup spot; Shreyas Iyer emerges as strong replacement candidate.
