Iyer played in the opening two Tests against England but had to withdraw from the Indian squad for the last three matches due to back stiffness.

He also skipped Mumbai's Ranji Trophy quarterfinal but returned for the semifinal and final matches.
Unfortunately, he was unable to continue playing in the final against Vidarbha due to back trouble.
Despite these challenges, Iyer is gearing up for the 2024 IPL campaign, with KKR set to kick off against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Eden Gardens on March 23.
