There is no doubt regarding Shreyas Iyer’s brilliant captaincy skills when it comes to bringing his team to the very apex of a tournament.
However, his recent consecutive defeats as a captain in the finals, first in the IPL and then in the T20 Mumbai League, have warranted a response from online trolls about his true ability to lead in big matches without Gautam Gambhir’s mentorship.

Many have claimed that Shreyas could only be successful in the past because of Gautam Gambhir’s role as a mentor in the team.
They say that with Gambhir being gone, his magic seems to have faded, leading to a series of crucial losses for Captain Iyer across tournaments.

While this may be a coincidence, one must also remember that Shreyas Iyer, just as a captain, has been successful to that level that many could have only dreamt of.
Berating a player like this, saying that they are dependent on someone to be successful, is nothing less than doing an outright insult.

We should respect Shreyas for the player he is rather than trolling him for losses, which are just as much a part of any game as the wins.
