Team India New Captain: Captain Shreyas Iyer, who led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the IPL trophy after 10 years, is in the news these days. Due to his great achievement this season, Shreyas has now become one of the contenders for the captaincy of the Indian team. Chandrakant Pandit, the head coach of KKR and the one who made Mumbai, Vidarbha, Madhya Pradesh Ranji Trophy champions, has even declared him the captain of the Indian team in the future.
Actually, during a media interview, Pandit was asked that Iyer has impressed a lot with his captaincy in this tournament. He did not get a BCCI contract this year but despite this he came forward and captained the team. In response to this, Chandrakant Pandit said, ‘I will give a lot of credit to Shreyas Iyer. He has been a great captain. Very calm and cool. He accepted our suggestions and handled the team better inside and outside the field. With KKR, he has shown the quality that makes him worthy of captaining the Indian team in the future.’
When Pandit was asked how he motivated Iyer after he did not get a BCCI contract, he replied, ‘Any player would be disappointed by this (not getting a BCCI contract). However, this did not affect Shreyas Iyer’s performance. Whenever we talked about anything, we did not talk about this topic. It was clear to us that the work we have in hand right now is more important.’ 
He further said, ‘I still remember that after this incident he said that Sir I will prove myself. The way he batted in this IPL, he is now looking like a very mature and sensible batsman.’
Let us tell you that there was a time when it was believed that Iyer could become the captain of Team India after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Regarding this, former chief selector MSK Prasad had also said that he could be prepared to become the captain in future. Now that Kolkata Knight Riders have won the IPL 2024 title under his captaincy, he is once again being seen as a captain.
