IPL 2024: 'He will become the next captain of India...' - After KKR's title win, a veteran player made a big prediction about Shreyas Iyer

 

Shreyas Iyer Indian Team captain: In IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders performed brilliantly under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer and won the title by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final. After the victory of Kolkata Knight Riders, captain Shreyas Iyer is being discussed a lot. Apart from his batting, many veterans have also become fans of his captaincy. The way Shreyas handled KKR throughout the season and took the team to its destination is being constantly praised. Meanwhile, former Indian batsman and KKR player Robin Uthappa has made a big prediction about Iyer. He has described Iyer as a contender to become the next captain of the Indian team.

Shreyas Iyer can become the captain of the Indian team

After Kolkata Knight Riders won the Indian Premier League 2024 title, Robin Uthappa said about Shreyas Iyer on Jio Cinema, 'I would like to say here that he is going to be the captain of India in the future. I think he is next in line for this. He is also ahead of Shubman Gill in the race for captaincy. He has the art and character to handle the team. He has learned a lot from this season.'

The former player also said that Shreyas Iyer dealt well with the big names in KKR's coaching staff, Gautam Gambhir, Chandrakant Pandit and Abhishek Nair. He took his own decisions among these big names. According to me, he can be Rohit Sharma's successor. It is clear from Uthappa's words that if Shreyas Iyer becomes the next captain of the Indian team after Rohit Sharma, then it will not be a surprise.

Let us tell you that before the IPL final, Shreyas Iyer revealed that he had some back problems since the ODI World Cup. However, despite the problems, Iyer did not give up and kept fighting for the team on the field. If we look at Iyer's performance in IPL 2024, he scored 351 runs in 15 matches with the help of 2 half-centuries.
