IPL 2021: Rishabh Pant leading really well, I respect franchise decision to continue with him, says Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer, who scored an unbeaten 47 in Delhi Capitals' eight-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad said that Rishabh Pant has been leading the team really well since the start of the season and he respects the franchise's decision to continue with him.

Shreyas Iyer played an instrumental role in Delhi Capitals’ eight-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday. The stylish right-handed batsman scored an unbeaten 47 as Delhi Capitals chased down the target of 135 in 17.5 overs with eight wickets in the hut.

Earlier this year, Delhi Capitals named wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant as their captain of the IPL 2021 season, after Iyer sustained a shoulder injury, which kept him away from action for five and a half months.
