The status of Shreyas Iyer's fitness remains uncertain, with conflicting reports emerging about his injury. While some sources suggest that he might miss the initial games of the IPL due to back pain, others assert that his participation in the tournament is not in doubt. Despite reports of experiencing back pain after his innings of 95 in the Ranji final's second innings, Iyer's team manager and Kolkata Knight Riders officials have assured that he is fine and will join the pre-IPL camp soon. However, there has been no official statement from Iyer or his team regarding his fitness. Scan reports are inconclusive, and the Mumbai Cricket Association awaits communication from the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru for a definitive diagnosis. Despite missing the Ranji quarterfinal due to back issues, Iyer participated in the semifinal and final matches. There are indications that the BCCI might reconsider excluding Iyer from the contract list, but no decision has been confirmed yet.
