Preparations are underway to make Shreyas Iyer the T20 captain of the Indian cricket team. Captain Suryakumar Yadav, who recently won the T20 World Cup, will be removed, his form is also bad so it will be difficult for him to make a place in the team. If Iyer becomes the captain then his path is not going to be very easy, here we are telling you about 3 such challenges that Iyer will have to face.
Bad form of main players
The performance of key players of the Indian cricket team like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Shivam Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav in IPL 2026 was poor, which is a matter of concern. If these players do not return to form in the T20 format, then Shreyas Iyer’s problems will increase. It will not be easy to drop them and choose their replacement.
fitting Vaibhav Suryavanshi into the team
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has now become eligible to play in international matches in terms of age. There is also a demand to field him, although many veterans have expressed concern about who should replace Vaibhav in the team. IPL 2026 was great for Vaibhav, he scored runs on every big bowler and was the highest run-scorer batsman in the season. He also received the MVP award. In the Indian national team, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan are top order batsmen whose form is good.
Abhishek is number-1 in T20 batting rankings. It would not be right to drop Sanju-Ishaan also. In such a situation, even if Vaibhav is selected in the team, it will be a challenge for Shreyas Iyer to fit him in the playing 11.
