Shreyas Iyer is the only captain to lead three different teams to the final in the Indian Premier League. He guided Delhi Capitals (DC) to their first-ever final in 2020. Iyer led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to their third title in 2024. The batter has captained Punjab Kings (PBKS) to the final in the 2025 season.
Shreyas has led by example with the bat. He has scored 603 runs in 16 matches at an average of 54.81 and a strike rate of 175.80, including six fifties. He hammered an unbeaten 87 off just 41 balls in Qualifier 2 against the Mumbai Indians (MI).
There Is No Need to Create Pressure on Shubman Gill - Sunil Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar said that Shubman Gill, recently named India’s Test captain, deserves full support. He added that creating pressure on Gill before the England tour is unnecessary. Gavaskar stated that Gill should be allowed to lead without distractions.
"There is no need to create pressure on Shubman Gill before the England tour. You first need to realise that Shreyas Iyer is not even in the Indian team. There should be no talk about him being made the next Indian captain," he added.

"When he makes a return to the side then you can have a look at whether he can be made the captain or not. We need to show tremendous confidence in Shubman Gill, who has just been made the Test captain. He is our India captain," said Gavaskar.
Gujarat Titans (GT), led by Shubman Gill, were eliminated from the IPL 2025 after a 20-run defeat to Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator. Gill will return to action in the upcoming five-match Test series against England, starting on June 20 at Headingley.
