It is really tough to be patient. When you perform consistently, get runs and then don’t get into the (senior) team, it runs into your mind. And, when you face quality bowling at top level, your performance keeps fluctuating. So, you need to keep yourself focused and, as I said, it affects you at times,” Iyer told reporters in Bengaluru.

After scoring runs heavily in domestic circuit, Iyer was picked for the national side to play shorter formats of the game. He last played for India in a one-dayer against South Africa in February this year. Last year, Iyer smashed 317 runs for India A against New Zealand A, including a highest score of 108. Three years ago, he had earned an IPL cap for Delhi Daredevils on the basis of good performance in domestic circuit. Two seasons later, he was asked to lead the side.

I really love the captaincy role. Whenever I get this role (captaincy), my character and attitude totally changes, and I see to it that I try and get the best out of myself as well as the team in pressure situations,” said Iyer who led India A to a 1-0 unofficial Test series win over South Africa A here.

 

Iyer enjoys people treating him with respect as a captain, but said one should not misuse the position.

Forget it.
He's not an international cricket maal nor he's a good captain.

He has scored in Ranji trophies but his A tour to England was not very impressive.

Why does he think he should be in the senior team? Scoring runs is ok but has he done enough to suggest he is better than some of the others?

[velu]

absurd logic 

[kosingh]

I'm going to try this at work.

 

My performance is being affected because I have not been promoted.

I believe that the Ipl hype has got to him some where his recent trip for India A was not really outstanding.He has been part of Indian squad but has not been in the playing eleven.

With this **** attitude better he stays a mile away from the national setup. 

[sensible-indian]

I get what he's saying and he has a point but where did he get the idea that he is a sure shot guarantee for selection? 

 

What has he achieved recently that makes him think so? 

[wanted_desi]

Other lads from India A have been doing better. 

[figo6762]

With this asstitude you will be in the national team soon .

What with this Pujara and now Iyer crap of absurd, surreal self-promotion, it's like they could be Pakistani cricketers.

Your performance gets affected by such things.

For the ODI’s he gets selected but in the recent series was not played.I believe that him getting the captaincy in the DD setup and India A is causing him to get carried away Ponting was singing his praises that he is the next big thing and captain so he is believing his own hype.

This guy miraculously jumped ahead of KLR and Pandey and got promoted into senior team. It's not like he had an exceptional talent to break the rules. Sunil Gavaskar and the lobby, along with the selectors, they are really one of a kind. 

[Stradlater]

What has happened to the young crop of Indian cricketers? 

Earlier we used to be so professional and you would rarely hear nonsense spouting ala Pakistani style.

These days though the way these self entitled chintu mintus are making noise, one would think if something's wrong with Indian cricket.

 

[wanted_desi]

He was quite poor in England. I am not sure what he has been smoking lately. Such performances don't get you selected in Indian Senior team. 

[raki05]

Mayank/ Shaw are much ahead of him in terms of overall performance. 

[Pollack]

Shut up and prove your worth.If you are good enough you will eventually make into the team. Your competition is not dhoni that you would have slim chance of selection inspite of performance. You did get into the team after all. Now work hard for getting back into the team.
