The Mumbai batter led Punjab Kings to their first ultimate in 11 years. Other than impressing as a captain, Shreyas completed because the sixth-highest run-getter within the match, amassing 604 runs in 17 innings at a mean of fifty.33 and a strike charge of 175.07. A bit of the cricket fraternity has additionally urged the BCCI to provide Shreyas a possibility to showcase his potential as a pacesetter on the worldwide degree.
Nevertheless, Rajasthan Royals’ speedster Sandeep Sharma stated that this opinion did not maintain a lot sense. Throughout an unique interview with CricTracker, the 32-year-old defined how captaining the Indian staff is completely different as a problem to being the chief on the home degree.
“See, this debate that he as a captain took his staff to the finals makes no sense. Surya [Suryakumar Yadav] shouldn’t be doing the captaincy of any franchise. So that isn’t the factors to be the captain of the Indian aspect. And for the final three years, Rohit was not doing the captaincy of any franchise. However nonetheless, he was the captain of T20 Indian staff and in the future aspect remains to be the identical captain. And he was the captain of all three codecs of Checks. So that isn’t the factors that what you do in IPL. IPL is completely completely different. It’s a home league,” Sharma opined.
“Like that BCCI has its personal home league, proper? And when you’re choosing a global staff, there you’re choosing 15 individuals. So that you decide a captain who will handle 15 individuals higher there. Right here in IPL, you may have quite a lot of home gamers, quite a lot of younger gamers. A few of them come from abroad. However right here you’re choosing somebody who will handle 15 individuals higher right here. So this debate, I really feel mindless that what’s he doing in IPL. These two groups are completely completely different groups. Indian staff is a very completely different staff. IPL staff is a very completely different staff. So I really feel individuals have to study and folks want to know extra about this factor earlier than commenting,” he added.

Throughout the identical interview, Sharma was requested whether or not India is one pacer brief within the seam-bowling division for the Asia Cup. The Patiala-born answered within the adverse and defined how all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s presence provides the aspect a substantial amount of stability.
No, I do not suppose so. All these individuals have been doing so nicely through the years. Jasprit Bumrah, you’ll be able to’t say something about him. Arshdeep, the most effective T20 bowlers for the final three years for India. After which Harshit Rana clearly has completed so nicely in IPL and home circuit. So he clearly deserves the place. And fourth one is Hardik, which, you recognize, he gave that stability to the aspect. If he bowls 4 overs and batting, everyone knows that. So I feel fully balanced aspect.
Sharma additionally shared his views on Prasidh Krishna not being picked in India’s squad regardless of ending as the best wicket-taker in IPL 2025. The previous India U-19 pacer stated that it’s troublesome for the selectors to make everybody joyful.
See, you’ll be able to’t make everybody joyful. As a selector or should you’re doing a job, so you’ll be able to’t make everybody joyful. For those who put Prasidh, then lots of people come and say, put another person. So I really feel as a selector or whenever you’re doing that job, you ought to be bothered about so many individuals. Try to be bothered from your self. Try to be realizing that, sure, in response to me, I’ve made the most effective staff. After that, it is best to go and sleep peacefully. As I stated, you’ll be able to’t make everybody joyful.
