Many people feel captaining India is the hardest job in cricket, but Kaif feels leading the national team is actually less challenging than leading an IPL side because the players already know their roles. Well, Shreyas Iyer has already delivered his first speech as India's T20I captain.
That is why the former Indian batter feels IPL captaincy brings more pressure than people usually think. He added that captaining the Indian team is ‘comparatively easier’ because there is no need to groom the players, who know what the coaches expect from them and understand their responsibilities. This will make things easy for Iyer as the captain.
Mohammad Kaif says IPL captaincy is tougher than leading India
It requires a lot more effort. Captaining the Indian team is a bit easier because everyone already knows their role. This isn't a squad full of uncapped or inexperienced players that you need to manage from scratch. That's why I say the job becomes a little easier.”
Kaif signed off by saying, “By ‘push,’ I don't mean there will be any conflict or argument. It's not about fighting. It simply means he'll put forward his case strongly. He'll say, ‘I believe this is the best batting position for me in this Indian team.’ Whether Gautam Gambhir agrees with him or not is a different matter. I'm only talking about Iyer's mindset as a player.”
Gautam Gambhir returns to Ireland as coach as India aim to continue dominance
The upcoming T20I match in Belfast will be India’s first-ever T20I at the Stormont Cricket Ground. They have played only one international match at this venue before—an ODI against Ireland in 2007.
In that game, current India head coach Gautam Gambhir played a match-winning unbeaten knock of 80 runs and was named the Player of the Match. Now, nearly two decades later, Gambhir returns to the same ground, but this time as India's head coach.
