New Delhi. It hasn't been long since Shreyas Iyer was dropped from the Indian team. This player was accused of indiscipline. Perhaps even for hiding his injury. Such a controversy in which everyone from the Cricket Board (BCCI) to the NCA (National Cricket Academy) were giving their own arguments. Shreyas was also giving explanations, but no one listened to him. His annual contract was taken away. Some warned him, some advised him. They said – a comeback is possible only by keeping calm. Hardly anyone would have thought then that within three months this player would not only stake a claim for a comeback in Team India, but would also join the race for captaincy.
It is said that there are a thousand heroes for victory and a thousand excuses for defeat… Kolkata Knight Riders This is the situation. If we sit down to count the heroes of this team that won the IPL after 10 years, then many names will be counted in one breath. Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Phil Salt, Mitchell Starc, Venkatesh Iyer, Varun Chakraborty, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana… and many more Shreyas IyerCaptain Iyer's name does not come up soon in this list. Whatever the reason, Shreyas did not get the credit he deserved. However, it is a matter of relief for him that when most of the veterans were praising other heroes of KKR, Robin clearly told Uthappa that Iyer could be the next captain of India.

I think he will captain India…
Robin Uthappa praised Shreyas Iyer after Kolkata Knight Riders' victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad. He said in the post-match show on 'Jio Cinema', 'I think he (Shreyas) will captain the Indian team in the coming times. He knows how to handle the team. He has learned many new things in this season of IPL, which are now visible. He is working with Gautam Gambhir, Chandrakant Pandit, Abhishek Nair and he has benefited from it.'
Has Iyer overtaken Shubman Gill?
In this show, when Robin Uthappa is asked whether Shreyas Iyer has overtaken Shubman Gill in the race for captaincy? In response to this, Uthappa says, 'Yes, you can say that. Iyer is fit in all three formats and there is no reason why he should not be considered ahead in the race for captaincy.' In the same show, Anil Kumble also said that the character shown by Shreyas and the way he has handled his players cannot be praised enough. This player has shown the maturity that is necessary for a successful and long cricket career.
Let us tell you that Shreyas Iyer has become the only captain of IPL under whose captaincy two different teams have played the finals. Shreyas Iyer, who made KKR the champion as captain, has also taken Delhi Capitals to the finals in 2020. He got injured while being the captain of Delhi. Only after this, Rishabh Pant was made the captain in his place.
