NEW DELHI: The captaincy debate has been resonating through India's cricket corridors for a while know and has been fueled further since Rohit Sharma's injury, Hardik Pandya's success as T20I skipper and KL Rahul's failure as a batter while standing in as skipper for Rohit. Amid all this, Shreyas Iyer, who has led sides in domestic cricket as well as in the IPL, has risen as a player, adding to his CV for India captaincy in future.
With age on Iyer's side, his consistency with the bat and keeping a cool head while bailing the side out of precarious situations ticks most boxes for the 28-year-old to become a successful leader in the post-Rohit era.
