IPL 2021: Shreyas Iyer can be future leader for India, DC a top team because of likes of him, says Brad Hogg

IPL 2021: Brad Hogg said that Shreyas Iyer's attitude despite losing the captaincy of the Delhi Capitals and being excluded from the Indian team for the T20 World Cup shows that he puts his team ahead of himself.

Shreyas Iyer can be a leader for India in the future considering how he is responding to recent setbacks, said former Australia spinner Brad Hogg. Delhi Capitals decided to continue with Rishabh Pant as captain of the team despite Iyer returning to the setup from injury for the second half of the season before which Iyer was not included in the Indian squad for the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Iyer scored an unbeaten 47 in Delhi Capitals' eight-wicket win over SunRisers Hyderabad in what was his first innings in competitive cricket since March. "That's why Delhi Capitals have been at the top of the ladder, because of players like Iyer, who know their role in the team, being a team man and not being upset that Pant is continuing the captaincy role after he had it previously. He puts his team first," Hogg said on his Youtube channel.
