Team India now has to play a 5 match Test series against England. In this Test series, Shubman Gill, captain of Team India, will be seen doing. Recently, Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket and only after that the opener was entrusted with important responsibility. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes will be on Gill’s captaincy. But before his journey starts, the new captain’s fragrance has started to start in Team India and now Shreyas Iyer’s name has been added to it. The situation seems to be changing after the best performance of Punjab Kings in IPL 2025 under Iyer’s captaincy.
Before taking charge of the Test team, Gill recently captained the Gujarat Titans team in IPL 2025. Under his captaincy, the Gujarat team confirmed their place in the playoffs. But he could not reach the final. On the other hand, apart from Gill, Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy was also amazing in IPL 2025. Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, Punjab Kings confirmed their place in the final of this season. Even though Shreyas has not been able to win Punjab Kings, everyone had praised his captaincy. Now it seems to be affecting it.
A big report about Shreyas Iyer came out
According to the report of the Indian Express, after his strong performance under captaincy, Shreyas Iyer has won the hearts of not only fans, but also BCCI’s doers. According to the report, Shreyas has now officially joined Team India’s white ball captaincy race. By the way, Suryakumar Yadav is currently taking charge in T20 cricket, while Rohit Sharma is still the captain of the ODI team. But in the event of change, Iyer has joined the race of this responsibility. These are not good signs for Shubman Gill, vice-captain of ODI team.
The Indian player has won three titles in the last 15 months. Shreyas Iyer captained Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024 and this team defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final. Not only this, under his captaincy, Mumbai won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25. Shreyas Iyer has also won the Iranian Cup 2024-25. Not only this, he has reached the finals five times including IPL and domestic cricket.

During this, 6 half -centuries came out of his bat. Shreyas Iyer became the first captain who took three different teams to the IPL final under his captaincy.
Shreyas Iyer has been doing well in ODI cricket. Some time ago, when the Indian team won the Champions Trophy 2025, Shreyas played an important role in it.
