This also meant that Shreyas Iyer lost the captaincy of the Capitals to Rishabh Pant. Even after his return for the UAE leg, the franchise decided to continue with Pant as the captain.

And that has benefited me in the last two years. But I respect the decision of the franchise. And if you see, Rishabh is doing really well from the start of the season. is leading.
His focus on Iyer’s batting has increased manifold:
“It hasn’t changed much for me that my focus on my batting has increased manifold. When I was the captain, I love soaking in pressure. Whenever there is pressure, there is a challenge. And when I do well I am a challenge.
“Even today when I went in, there was pressure for the team to win matches because the wicket was a bit uneven. My mindset was the same, that being the core of the team, I have to finish the game. Whenever I play, my the mindset is to stay there till the end and see that I can lead the team to victory.”
Shreyas Iyer came to bat with the Capitals scoring 20 for 1 in the third over on the pitch used. Although his innings was not particularly fluent, Shreyas Iyer said that his role with the bat has not changed since his return.
Shreyas Iyer’s role is always based on the situation:
“My role is always based on the situation. But my intention has always been positive. Shreyas see that I have an aggressive nature whenever I step on the field irrespective of the situation. Even before my injury, I was in that frame. I was in. Mind and I still continue with the same attitude.
” Iyer’s routine and process have been on point. During my preparation, Shreyas checked all the boxes before coming here which tells me I am in great shape. I keep supporting my instincts… that’s what I do It was just the first game. It’s a long leg and hopefully I’ll continue to perform like that and focus on winning the championship.”
