Shreyas Iyer’s T20I captaincy is under debate after a former India player’s surprising comment. Is he truly the right choice to lead India?
Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar called Iyer “somewhat deserving” but also a “convenient choice.” His comments have split cricket fans
Manjrekar said it’s unusual for someone not in the T20I squad to be named captain. He called Iyer a convenient and only somewhat deserving choice.
Shreyas Iyer proved his leadership by leading the Kolkata Knight Riders to an IPL title and taking several IPL teams to finals, boosting his reputation as captain.
Shreyas Iyer is known for his calmness under pressure and support for his players. Now, these qualities will be tested at the international level.
Leading India is one thing, but winning consistently is another. The Ireland T20I series is Iyer’s first real chance to prove himself.
The captaincy call has sparked a lot of debate. Will Shreyas Iyer prove the selectors right with good performances, or will questions remain?
