Shreyas Iyer injured his left shoulder during the India vs England 1st ODI, thus putting his availability for the IPL 2021 season at risk. The incident occurred during the eighth over of the English run-chase. The cricketer was immediately taken for scans and did not took part in the remainder of the game. The Mumbai player hurt his shoulder when he made a dive to a shot from Jonny Bairstow off the bowling of Shardul Thakur. Iyer looked in immense pain as he walked off the field, thus raising concerns over his availability in the upcoming Indian Premier League 2021 (IPL 2021) season.

As per InsideSport, some BCCI sources have claimed that Shreyas Iyer may will be out of action for the next six-to-eight weeks. However, an official report about his scans is yet to be announced by the Indian board. Meanwhile, the IPL 2021 season is scheduled to launch on April 9 in Chennai. Iyer was slated to lead the Delhi Capitals franchise in the upcoming IPL 2021 season. He was one of the 19 cricketers to have been retained by the franchise on January 20 alongside the likes of captain Shikhar Dhawan, Ishant Sharma, Rishabh Pant among others. On February 18, they enhanced their squad with further additions in the form of Steve Smith and Tom Curran at the auction.
