Gautam Gambhir Overshadowing Shreyas Iyer's Success In IPL? KKR Captain's Blunt Reply
Shreyas Iyer-led teams have reached IPL final two times in the last four years. But the Kolkata Knight Riders skipper has little qualms about not being celebrated enough as a leader and ceding spotlight to their mentor Gautam Gambhir. Iyer had led Delhi Capitals to the IPL title clash in 2020 before guiding KKR to this edition's summit match against Sunrisers Hyderabad to be played on Sunday. Asked if he feels that his achievements as a leader haven't received enough traction, the straight-talking Mumbaikar replied sharply. “The hype is definitely created by you guys (media). Where I stand (as a skipper) is definitely on you (to decide),” Iyer replied to a query from PTI during the pre-match conference on Saturday.
