Now even Gill will captain India before Shreyas Iyer

 

Since Shreyas Iyer’s debut, we have seen almost a new captain every second month, Iyer has performed well under all of them. Iyer has captain DC and KKR wonderfully well in IPL. However still we haven’t seen Shreyas captaining the Indian Team.

List of Captain Since November 2017(Iyer Debut):

  1. MS Dhoni 
  2. Virat Kohli 
  3. Rahane 
  4. Rohit Sharma 
  5. Shikhar Dhawan 
  6. KL Rahul 
  7. Hardik Pandya 
  8. Rishabh Pant 
  9. Jasprit Bumrah 
  10. Ruturaj Gaikwad 
  11. Surya Kumar Yadav 
  12. Shubhman Gill 

Players like Rishabh Pant, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Surya Kumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah(wonderful player), Shubhman Gill with virtually no captaincy experience or a terrible captaincy record are given India captaincy however a well established captain i.e. Iyer isn’t even give Vice-Captaincy of a full series till date.

Although he leads DC to playoffs for the only two times and KKR to their 3rd IPL title amongst his other individual achievements. If IPL records don’t matter then on what basis are the above players selected for Zimbabwe T20I series.

Many say Iyer is not ideal candidate for T20I. Keeping that argument aside, why has he not been made captain in ODI till date, in that format he has excelled every time whenever given a chance, never disappointed.

Hope we see him captaining India VS Sri Lanka ODI’s. BTW can a player who is not in BCCI contract list become captain of India team?
