Shreyas Iyer officially enters white‑ball captaincy race
1. His leadership in IPL 2025 was widely praised
2. Guided Punjab Kings (PBKS) to the final after winning the title with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2024
3. Led two different teams to IPL finals in consecutive years—a rare achievement
One of the most influential decision-makers in Indian cricket said:
"Right now Shreyas Iyer only plays ODIs, but after this IPL we cannot keep him out of T20 Internationals and even India's Test team. Also, now he has officially joined the race for white-ball captaincy as well" (Report)
