Former Indian coach Abhishek Nair said on the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, “Don’t be hasty in the decision, he should get time”

These days, there is a heated debate in the circles of cricket regarding the leadership abilities of Indian T20 team captain Shreyas Iyer. After the defeat in the recent T20 series against England, many former cricketers have raised questions on his captaincy. However, in this difficult time, Abhishek Nair, former batsman of Team India and an important member of the coaching staff, has come forward in the defense of Shreyas Iyer.

“Time is necessary for maturity”

Abhishek Nair believes that initial results cannot be the basis for judging any captain. Nair said, “Shreyas Iyer should be given enough time to prove himself as captain. It takes time for any player to adjust to his strategy and players as captain. It is too early to take a decision on him now.” He stressed that Iyer has the experience to prove his captaincy in the IPL, which requires patience to replicate at the international level.

Iyer’s initial phase has been challenging

The defeat on the tour of England and Ireland has increased the pressure on Shreyas Iyer. However, Iyer himself has termed these defeats as ‘a period of change’. He admitted that the team still needs improvement in many areas and the young players need time to settle down at the international level.

Iyer amid support and criticism

While on one hand critics are questioning Iyer’s strategy regarding the series defeat, on the other hand many veterans like Abhishek Nair believe that he should get a chance to prepare the team according to his thinking. According to Nair, Iyer has the potential to become a great captain.

Now it remains to be seen how much more time the team management and selectors give to Shreyas Iyer, and whether Iyer will be able to prove himself in the upcoming series. At present, amidst this ongoing debate on captaincy, this support of Abhishek Nair is being considered as a big relief for Iyer.
