Shreyas Iyer’s leadership in IPL 2025 has reignited his international career, with top BCCI voices now endorsing him for T20I and Test roles. Despite falling short in the final with Punjab Kings, Iyer’s composed leadership and explosive batting — including a match-winning 87* in the Eliminator vs Mumbai — earned praise. Once dropped from national squads and stripped of his central contract, Iyer led PBKS to consecutive IPL finals and won fans with his “Sarpanch Sahab” persona. His commanding presence and form have propelled him into serious contention for India’s white-ball captaincy, challenging Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma directly. (PC: AFP)
