Mumbai: Former India captain Irfan Pathan has said that the future of Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL is safe in the hands of captain Shreyas Iyer. Pathan said Iyer had led the team before the tournament and his captaincy prowess was crucial in keeping Kolkata’s performance so far.
‘Iyer’s captaincy prowess so far has been crucial in driving Kolkata’s performance forward. Even in the loss to RCB, the player’s captaincy was excellent. With the defeat of Punjab in the third match, the team under Shreyas has become very strong.
‘Iyer is a very good, brilliant captain. Shreyas is the player who had to take over the captaincy of Delhi Capitals half way. Later, Shreyas led the team in good form. Shreyas is like Mumbai’s Rohit Sharma to Delhi. Shreyas has been able to improve his captaincy with Ricky Ponting’s coaching prowess in Delhi.

It was during this season that Shreyas’ captaincy tactics became more and more popular. As the tournament progresses, we will be able to see more of that captaincy, ”said Pathan.
