Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy failed in the last match
Shreyas Iyer has power in the captaincy, there is no two opinions. He reached the final of IPL 2025 on the basis of uncapricated players. In the final, he had a competition with RCB, he would have won this match, he had stopped RCB at 190 but made a big mistake while chasing. Shreyas Iyer was dismissed by playing just 1 run after playing a very bad shot off the ball of Romario Shepherd. Iyer’s wicket was heavy on Punjab and finally he lost by 6 runs.
