The return of Shreyas Iyer in the captaincy discussions for the India National Cricket Team will mount pressure on the likes of Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav.
Iyer, who made his India debut in 2017, is currently only part of the One Day Internationals set-up and is not being considered by the selection committee for Test or T20I cricket.
The 30-year-old, since being dropped from the Test and T20I team, had put in hard yards and significantly improved his game, becoming one of the best and most consistent batters in Indian cricket.
In the IPL 2025, he joined forces with head coach Ricky Ponting, and their 'Project Punjab' has been quite successful as the Punjab Kings delivered one of their best-ever performance in the league and made it to the final for the first time since 2014.

"I’ve said this time and again and I’ll say it AGAIN!! Iyer will captain India in multiple formats!! He has to!! He’s that good,” Uthappa wrote on X.

I don't know where to start. I'm obviously a huge fan - AB de Villiers on Shreyas Iyer
Meanwhile, South Africa and Royal Challengers Bengaluru batting great AB de Villiers praised Shreyas Iyer for his batting brilliance and labeled himself as a fan of the PBKS captain. He said on JioStar:
"Under immense pressure, knowing it was do-or-die, with the odds stacked against him - he stood tall. His sixes were a joy to watch. His head was still, his positioning perfect. He's calm, not arrogant - level-headed, and I love that about him. There are many more runs to come from this guy in the future. Shreyas Iyer, I salute you. What a knock."
