“In terms of making a comeback, he (Rahane) always has the calibre. When he came back to the domestic side after playing Test cricket, he got a first-class hundred. He is someone who has always got runs. In the IPL, he is someone who has always been successful. I don’t think he is approaching the IPL to make a comeback; I think he is approaching the IPL to help KKR win the title,” the statement read.
Shreyas starts on positive note – Shreyas Iyer kick started his IPL campaign as a captain with a flamboyant win against defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK). After stopping the opposition for just 131 runs, it was an easy walk in the park for KKR as they easily chases down the target with nine balls to spare. Ajinkya Rahane top scored with 44 runs while Shreyas contributed 20 runs off 19 deliveries.
Shreyas awaits next challenge – Shreyas Iyer and KKR will now be looking forward to the next contest where they Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the D.Y. Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai. While KKR will be high in confidence, RCB will try to bounce back after their opening day defeat. Shreyas on the other hand will be poised to continue the good work and steer KKR to their third IPL title.
Shreyas eyes T20 World Cup glory – Shreyas will also be targeting a place in the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia, which takes place in October. While he will be one of the first choices to be on plane, Shreyas will definitely try to stamp his authority on the pitch. A good season in the IPL will certainly help him cement his place as a player and future candidate as Team India captain.
