The former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter highlighted how Iyer has delivered results across teams like Delhi, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Punjab, proving his value as a leader. Be it Delhi, KKR, or even Punjab, they played the final last year after a gap of 11 years. You can see why he is a good Captain, because the communication off the field seems to be brilliant.
