The upcoming Asia Cup 2023 will witness the comeback of India’s two veteran batters Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul as they have recovered from their injuries and are set to play in the tournament. Iyer will surely make India’s middle order stronger as he will be batting at the no. 4 position.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan’s star opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz talked about his Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) teammate Shreyas Iyer who is also the captain of the team. He said that hopefully, Iyer will become a good captain of Team India in the future after Rohit Sharma.

“Hopefully, he (Shreyas) will become a good captain. He will be a good captain because he leads a team (KKR) in the IPL. The IPL is the biggest competition in the world. If he can lead a team in the IPL, he can lead any team in the world. India also. Rohit is there right now.

He is young and dynamic: Rahmanullah Gurbaz

India’s cricket quality is of a high level. If Shreyas leads a team in the IPL, that means he is good (as India captaincy material). There are a lot of players who didn’t get a chance to lead teams in the IPL. He got the chance which means he is a good captain. I am sure he will be a good captain for India,” Gurbaz was quoted as saying by India Today.

Gurbaz also expressed his happiness in Iyer making his comeback after a long time. Gurbaz said that Iyer deserves to be in the squad as he is young and very dynamic.

“I am really happy for him (Shreyas). After a long time, he has made it to the team. He is a key player. He is a very good player. That’s why he has been picked on the Indian side. He deserves it. We play together at KKR. He is a very good man. He is a very good captain, a young captain. He is young and dynamic,” he added.
