India A captain Shreyas Iyer, currently leading his side in the unofficial Test against Australia A in Lucknow, is going through an emotional phase off the field. The middle-order batsman, aiming to make a comeback into Team India, shared a heartfelt post on social media after the passing of his pet dog.
