Shreyas Iyer’s impressive leadership in the IPL has caught the attention of the BCCI, with talks of him potentially taking over the India white-ball captaincy. Despite not winning the title with Punjab Kings in IPL 2025, Iyer’s captaincy skills have been praised, especially after a revelation by PBKS assistant coach Brad Haddin. Haddin shared a story of Iyer’s bold decision to bowl first in a crucial game against Mumbai Indians, despite all signs pointing towards batting first. Iyer’s confidence and stellar batting performance led PBKS to their first IPL final since 2014, earning him praise for his leadership qualities. The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is considering Iyer as a strong candidate to succeed Rohit Sharma as the captain of the Indian team. With India’s next white-ball game approaching in the ODI tour of Bangladesh, Iyer’s name is being discussed as a potential leader for the team. His success in leading two different IPL franchises to the final in consecutive seasons has put him in the spotlight for a leadership role with the national team.
