Ever since Shreyas Iyer became the captain of the Indian T20 team, he has suddenly come under target. The reason for this is the performance of Team India, because under his captaincy Team India played five matches and did not win even one. Not only this, Team India also lost the series against Ireland. Now former cricketer Mohammad Kaif has given a big statement against Shreyas Iyer. Shreyas Iyer’s fans will not like this statement at all because this former cricketer believes that Iyer is not fit to play in every T20. Let us tell you what Kaif said?
Mohammad Kaif’s target on Kaif
Mohammad Kaif Has uploaded a video on his YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Team India has made two such players as captain and vice-captain who do not deserve a guaranteed place in the playing eleven. Yes, Tilak has a 50-50 call. He has won matches for Team India, I am not denying that. But the problem here is that if you make them captain and vice-captain then they cannot be dropped. This is the reason why Sanju Samson had to be dropped. Here, Kaif said in a few gestures that Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Verma do not seem to be players capable of playing in every match at present.
How did Iyer become captain directly?
Mohammad Kaif further said that Shreyas Iyer returned to the T20 team and he directly became the captain of the team. This has never happened before in Indian cricket. How was this decision taken? Kaif said, ‘It was a big decision to drop Sanju Samson from the team. If Shreyas had not been the captain he would have been dropped. You have performed well and are back in the team but you are not getting a place in the playing eleven. Questions should be raised against those who have taken these decisions. I don’t think it has ever happened before in the history of Team India that a player who was not in the team became the captain of the team as soon as he returned.
Now if Team India also loses the T20 series against England, then obviously more questions will be raised on Iyer. And let us tell you that seeing the way Team India is performing, it seems that the T20 series will be in the name of England only.
