Iyer is the best option  right now for Captain of T20 team,who else we got? we cant make a bowler the captain,we cant make Ishan or Samson the captain because they are streaky guys who go long stretch of games where they score Zilch. and people will b out for blood if that happens.

You shouldn't be looking as long term captains for t20s ,anyone with good leadership skills should lead

The interim captaincy experiment with SKY was quite good to be frank,the logic which is used for Iyer has more weightage in Patidar's case 

Not saying Patidar should make it as captain,but won't be surprised if he does equally well or better than Iyer in this format,Iyer is though 2 years younger

Vaibhav is a destroyer in PP,he either plays as an opener or sits.

Vaibhav is a destroyer anywhere, its 4 hitters like Gill who are limited by power play, not 6 hitters like Vaibhav

Can't one of the current top-order hitters become a finisher?  I mean, there is a logjam of guys who tee off from ball one in PP - why can't one of them become a finisher?  Certainly not a lack of skill. Is it mindset? Non-PP-field? Softer ball?

 

Samson, VS, Kishan, Iyer, Varma, Pandya, Abhishek, Dube, 3 bowlers.

 

 

being in the top 4 is a symbol of prestige... could you imagine Abhishek agreeing to come down at 6. Its egos

The weirdest part of this story is that he couldn’t even make it to the team before and now slots in as the captain. BCCI logic.

Hope Iyer will be dropped halfway just like how Gill was dropped last year. 

I do like him though, only drop him if he doesn’t fit. I just get the feeling like Ravi that he will replace Tilak.

It would be a travesty to replace Samson. I hope they replace Abhishek with Sooryavanshi. Abhishek was quite useless in the world cup. 

 

Lord Samson and Bumrah are the only reason we won that tournament. 

They are itching to drop Samson

It's not that weird. Iyer is SKY back up for that position in the batting order. And you also don't need two captains. So both Iyer and SKY couldn't be on the team. Now with SKY out, Iyer fits that position perfectly. 

 

Will be interesting to see how Iyer dates in English conditions tho

Abhishek is a hackish player. Sooryavanshi is what Abhishek wants to be. 

 

Samson provides that stability and reasonably quick scoring up top.

The streaky guy who had the biggest lean patch in 2+ years was the captain of the T20 WC win in 2026
