Shreyas Iyer News / Iyer made a big statement after losing the final, spoke his heart out about captaincy

Shreyas Iyer News: By taking his team to the finals for the second consecutive time in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Shreyas Iyer has once again caught the attention of the cricket world. In IPL 2025, he led Punjab Kings to the finals for the first time. Even though the team missed the title, everyone is praising Iyer's captaincy and batting. After his performance in the IPL, Iyer is now proving his captaincy in the T20 Mumbai League as well, where he led the SoBo Mumbai Falcons to the semi-finals.

Showed amazing in captaincy

Shreyas Iyer has so far led three different teams to the finals in the IPL—making him the third captain to do so after Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. This achievement is also special because he has done this feat in just five years. In IPL 2024, he made Kolkata Knight Riders the champion and in 2025 brought Punjab Kings close to creating history.

Captaincy gives inspiration

Shreyas Iyer believes that captaincy deepens the sense of responsibility and improves the performance of the player. He says, "When you are the captain, the team expects from you in every situation. Decisions have to be taken even in difficult times and I always try to give my best for the team."

Name of trust in batting also

In IPL 2025, Iyer scored a brilliant 604 runs and played an important role in the team's success. However, despite this, he was not included in the Indian Test team for the England tour. On this, he gave a restrained response and said that he has been captaining since the age of 22 and takes every opportunity as a challenge.

Full potential to become a captain

Iyer said, "I enjoy captaincy. I always try to keep myself in the zone and like to play under pressure." Consistent good performance in IPL and domestic cricket has established him as a strong contender for the future Indian captain.
