Sunil Gavaskar, former India cricket captain, has expressed concerns over discussions about Shreyas Iyer as a future India captain, stating it could unfairly increase pressure on the current Test captain, Shubman Gill.
Gavaskar highlighted that the focus should remain on Gill, who was recently appointed to lead the Indian Test team. He warned against creating unnecessary expectations around Iyer, who was overlooked in the recent 18-member squad selection for the five-match Test series against England.
"There should be no talk about him being made the next Indian captain," Gavaskar said, emphasizing the importance of stability and support for Gill in his new leadership role.
This caution comes amid ongoing speculation about leadership roles within the Indian cricket team, with Iyer often mentioned as a potential future captain. Gavaskar's remarks suggest a preference for consolidating Gill's position rather than diverting attention to other candidates.
The former captain's advice underscores the delicate balance in managing team dynamics and leadership transitions, especially during high-stakes series like the upcoming England Tests.
"Talking about Iyer as potential India captain could put more pressure on Gill," Gavaskar added, signaling the need to avoid distractions that could impact team performance.
As the Indian team prepares for the England series, the focus remains on supporting Shubman Gill's captaincy and ensuring a cohesive team environment.
