Xtra Time Web Desk : Team India batter and player of the series in the recently concluded T20I series against Sri Lanka, Shreyas Iyer on Tuesday opened up on his removal from the captaincy of Delhi Capitals.
In an interview with the Times Of India, Iyer said, “Injury. That was a bigger low. If that didn’t happen they wouldn’t have stepped me down as a captain. At Delhi Capitals, you saw the reflection of the environment at the start of 2021, which we created in 2019 & 20. The atmosphere was amazing. The players knew each other inside out, their strengths and weaknesses. I don’t want to get deeper into it,”
Taking about his injury during his time with the Delhi franchise, the 27 year old said, “Sometimes things just happen for the better. It’s just that we come to know about it later. I was on a roll right in New Zealand and began feeling really confident of myself and my batting. As captain, I had an amazing season going in the IPL and I scored some 500 runs,”
“I was in a good frame of mind and then that injury began playing on my mind. Forced breaks are never easy because you have to start all over again. Injuries and rehabs are painful. But I must say, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The injury had made me feel I was 50% of the player I otherwise am. Having fully recovered, I’ve come back fresh and feel good. So, whatever happens, happens for good,” added the newly appointment Kolkata Knight Riders skipper.
Shreyas made his comebck from an injury last year with a brilliant ton on his Test debut for Team India and was recently picked up by Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 12.25 crore in the Indian Premier League mega auction and was subsequently appointed as their captain.
The 10 team Indian Premier League this season will commence from the 26th of March and will run till 29th May.
