Ever since Shreyas Iyer was snubbed from the Indian team for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, he has emerged as the central topic for controversy. Several slammed the Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir as well as Shubman Gill and even stated that they were insecure about the Punjab Kings skipper.
After the snub of Iyer, who went on to be one of the major omissions from the Asia Cup squad, his T20 career, which had only hit an upward trajectory, saw a major low. Iyer was seen leading the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2024, when they won the title, and he also led the Punjab Kings to the final of IPL 2025.
“One of the reasons Shreyas Iyer is probably struggling to get into the Indian squad is because he brings those leadership skills, and, at the moment, possibly they've got that covered. It allows them to bring in someone younger, a bit more exciting to play, who would be easier to manage for coach Gautam Gambhir," Panesar said.
Shreyas denied Captaincy for the Duleep Trophy with Asia Cup hopes
In the recent IPL season, he finished with 604 runs in the IPL, with an average of over 50 and 6 half-centuries in the edition. His strike rate also saw a monumental rise over 175. He was the best to have adapted to India's latest philosophy of fearless cricket.
Shreyas Iyer himself denied a captaincy role for the West Zone side in the Duleep Trophy because he was expecting a Team India call-up for the Asia Cup, which could cut short his Duleep Trophy campaign.
