Kolkata Knight Riders' assistant coach Abhishek Nayar is impressed with the way Shreyas Iyer is leading the team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Nayar, who has been with the KKR franchise for a while, heaped praise on the 27-year-old Shreyas and compared his captaincy style to that of India and Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma. The Shreyas Iyer-led KKR team began their IPL 2022 campaign on a high, with a big win vs defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the tournament opener on March 26. "In terms of personality traits, Shreyas is very much similar to Rohit Sharma. He is just like Rohit in terms of his personality, in terms of being easy-going, in terms of empowering the cricketers. He empowers the players to play the style of game they want to play," Nayar said in response to a question by TimesofIndia.com in a media interaction.
