'Support Each Other Through Thick And Thin': Iyer's Message Before Captaincy Debut
Kolkata Knight Riders: Shreyas Iyer called on his teammates to build a strong team culture and play fearless cricket as he prepares to captain India for the first time in T20Is, urging the squad to support one another and "play like Lions" ahead of the five-match series against England.
Speaking at a team huddle before India’s practice session in Belfast on Saturday, ahead of the series opener on Sunday, Iyer set the tone and explained his leadership approach after World Cup-winning skipper Suryakumar Yadav was replaced by the head coach Gautam Gambhir.
“Let’s try to build a solid culture going forward. My first opportunity to captain the Indian team was definitely an honour and privilege, as Gauti bhai mentioned. It’s a great respect as well to be leading the country,” Iyer said during the practice session.
