There was a time when the Indian captain used to stay at his post for a long time. Be it Sourav Ganguly, MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli, all of them took command of the Indian team for a long time, but since last year, a different game of captaincy is being seen in Indian cricket. KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shikhar Dhawan, Jaspreet Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and regular captain Rohit Sharma all captained, after which many questions started to arise. It was also said whether captaincy has become very difficult in Indian cricket.
Rohit Sharma has become close to 35 years. He is at the last stage of his career. On the other hand, Pandya showed his excellent leadership, after which he is being considered as Rohit’s successor. Pandya was also given the command of the team for the T20 series against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja has described Shreyas Iyer, who played 7 Test matches, as the perfect captain.
Iyer scored the most runs
This year has been great for Iyer. He is the highest Indian batsman to score 1609 runs in the year 2022. Jadeja feels that Iyer is the name that the BCCI can look at as the next Indian captain.
the art of overcoming weakness
Talking to Sony Sports Network, Jadeja said that Iyer has taken India out of difficult situations many times. After returning from injury, he was struggling on short pitch balls. He removed this weakness of his. The former Indian player said that when you have the art of solving problems, you go a long way.
Iyer has started playing with temperament
Jadeja said that before 2-3 years, Iyer was being considered as the next captain of India. Although now the circumstances have changed, because India has 12 captains. He said that Shreyas Iyer is scoring runs continuously. His average in Test cricket was 60-70. He said that the temperament with which Iyer has started playing at this time is a big contender for the captaincy.
