His innings featured five fours and an incredible ten sixes, demonstrating his powerful batting approach. This remarkable performance was instrumental in helping Mumbai reach a daunting total of 382 runs for the loss of four wickets after choosing to bat first at the Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground in Ahmedabad.
Mumbai faced an early challenge as Angkrish Raghuvanshi was dismissed quickly. However, Ayush Mhatre and Hardik Tamore responded effectively, building a strong partnership that added 141 runs for the second wicket in just 26.4 overs. Mhatre played a vital role with 78 runs before being outed by Praveen Dubey, allowing Iyer to take center stage in the innings.

In the Ranji Trophy, he scored an impressive 452 runs with an average of 90.40, and in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he accumulated 345 runs at an explosive strike rate of 188.52.
