But now, former South Africa captain AB de Villiers has come out strongly in support of the Indian captain. The legendary batter believes that people are judging Iyer far too quickly. Iyer took over as India's full-time T20I captain before the white-ball tours of Ireland and England.
After four defeats in a row, many have questioned some of Shreyas Iyer's captaincy decisions and the BCCI's call to make him captain. However, AB de Villiers has stressed that no captain should be judged after just a few matches, and Iyer deserves a proper chance to show what he can do before anyone decides whether he is successful or not. He urged for patience with Iyer.
De Villiers says comparing Rajat Patidar with Shreyas Iyer is unfair
The legendary South African batter also said he has always liked Iyer's leadership style because he stays calm even in difficult situations, and that is one of the biggest qualities of a good captain. He feels Iyer can become a successful leader if the team management continues to support him.
De Villiers added, “I think Shreyas deserves a bit of time. I have always loved him as a captain in the IPL, with his calm demeanor. By no means do I think Rajat (Patidar) can't do it. I think he is a valid person to take India forward in the future, perhaps. But it will be unfair to give Shreyas one or two or three games and say, “No, no, no, he is not the guy”.”
Shreyas Iyer deserves an extended period: AB de Villiers
He signed off by saying, “Iyer has been selected now, and I think he deserves an extended period, even though I absolutely love Rajat. Let Rajat focus on RCB for now on winning more trophies. Three in a row would be nice, and then we can maybe talk about the captain of India.”
