Pat Cummins - Eoin Morgan - Brendon Maccullum - Shreyas Iyer - Ajinkya Rahane - IPL 2022: Smart move by Brendon McCullum and KKR management to make Shreyas Iyer captain; Ajinkya Rahane a leader in the group, says KKR mentor David Hussey - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - India - Delhi - Kolkata

IPL 2022: Smart move by Brendon McCullum and KKR management to make Shreyas Iyer captain; Ajinkya Rahane a leader in the group, says KKR mentor David Hussey

Pat Cummins at the last auction, Kolkata Knight Riders chose Shreyas Iyer to lead the team as the new captain. KKR mentor David Hussey talking to journalists in a media interaction organised by the team called Iyer a born leader. Iyer, who had captained Delhi Capitals in 2020 and taken them to their maiden final, was released after the 2021 season and KKR splurged a whopping Rs. 12.25 crore to acquire the services of the prolific Mumbaikar. KKR were in the hunt for a new captain after they released Eoin Morgan ahead of the players' auction and they looked to Iyer to fulfill that role. "Shreyas is a born leader. Just the way he walks out and sort of commands. He gets all the respect of the players. Knowing Pat (Cummins) really well, he would be a good deputy and good leader amongst the group. He would also lead from the front, but the way Shreyas has captained in the past for Delhi, he has a very good cricketing brain," Hussey said in response to a question by TimesofIndia.com in the media interaction.

IPL 2022: Ravindra Jadeja is ready to lead CSK if MS Dhoni takes a break, says Sunil Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar believes Ravindra Jadeja will be ready to take over the mantle of Chennai Super Kings' captaincy if the iconic Mahendra Singh Dhoni decides to take a game or two off in the upcoming IPL. Dhoni, who has been the CSK captain since the league's inception in 2008, could be playing in his last IPL this season. He has already retired from international cricket. "The way Ravindra Jadeja has matured as a player over the last few years, the way he is making the adjustment as far as his game is concerned and the way he reads match situations has been absolutely fantastic. "If in the odd game MS Dhoni decides to take a break, I won't be surprised if the mantle of captaincy will be handed over to Jadeja," Gavaskar said during a Gameplan episode aired on Star Sports, the official broadcaster of IPL.

EXCLUSIVE - IPL 2022: 'Iss baar IPL jeetna hai': Die-hard Rajinikanth fan Venkatesh Iyer opens up on his KKR and Team India journeys

Kolkata Knight Riders will begin their quest to end their seven year wait for the coveted IPL 2022 trophy when they take on defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the tournament opener this time on March 26 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. KKR's dashing all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer, who was fast-tracked into the Indian limited overs teams based largely on his IPL heroics last season, is confident that KKR who are two-time champions will once again have a successful season. Last season, KKR made it to the final, but lost to CSK in the summit clash. The very tall left hand batsman, Iyer, is known for his attacking style of play and was retained by KKR ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. He played 10 matches for KKR last season and scored 370 runs at a very healthy average of 41.11. He also bagged three wickets in the 2021 edition. Iyer made headlines in phase 2 of IPL 2021. Due to his attacking style of play, Iyer was asked to open in the crucial Qualifier 2 vs Delhi Capitals. After KKR restricted DC to 135 in 20 overs, Iyer, who opened the innings with Shubman Gill, tore apart Delhi's bowling attack with a blistering 55 off 41 balls, which included 4 fours and 3 mammoth sixes. Iyer was also adjudged Man of the match in Qualifier2.

"Comes Across As A True Leader": KKR Mentor David Hussey Praises Captain Shreyas Iyer Ahead Of IPL 2022

Indian batter Shreyas Iyer has been one of the most consistent performers in all formats for the senior side ever since New Zealand's tour of India late last year. His epic outings have not only helped India secure crucial wins, but now puts him in good stead ahead of the Indian Premier League 2022 season where he is set to lead his new franchise Kolkata Knight Riders. Iyer was picked by KKR in the IPL Mega Auction held in Bengaluru last month and was later appointed as the captain of the side. Having led the Delhi Capitals (DC) franchise earlier, Shreyas has the ability to bring renewed energy in a new-look KKR side.
