Shreyas Is Underrated, But Is An Exceptional Leader: Kumble
Indian Premier League: Former India captain and legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble has heaped praise on Shreyas Iyer, calling him an underrated yet exceptional leader in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The former coach believes Iyer’s leadership qualities are often overlooked despite the batter consistently delivering strong performances as a captain.
Speaking about Iyer’s leadership journey, Kumble highlighted how difficult it is for a captain to succeed across different franchises in the highly competitive environment of the IPL. According to Kumble, the transition between teams often brings new challenges ranging from management dynamics to team culture.
“Shreyas Iyer is certainly an underrated skipper. It is not easy to win a trophy with one franchise and then go to another. There is a different management, atmosphere and a team. The pressure is also different. The new franchise he joined had not played in the final in the last 10 years and in just his first season with the Punjab Kings, he took them to the final,” Kumble told JioStar while discussing Iyer’s impact at the Punjab Kings.
