Shreyas Iyer ka rollercoaster safar: IPL jeet se Champions Trophy tak
Shreyas Iyer ke liye pichhla saal kuchh kam upar neeche wala nahi raha hai. BCCI ke central contracts se bahar hone ke baad, unhone Kolkata Knight Riders ke saath IPL title jeet kar sabko hairan kar diya. Iske baad, domestic cricket mein bhi apna jalwa dikhate hue, Shreyas ne Champions Trophy 2025 mein India ki jeet mein bada yogdaan diya.
IPL jeet ke baad bhi nahi mili pehchaan?
Champions Trophy jeet ke baad, Shreyas ne apne safar ke baare mein baat ki, lekin saath hi yeh bhi kaha ki KKR ko IPL title dilane ke baad unhe utni pehchaan nahi mili, jitni unhe milni chahiye thi. “Frustration toh nahi tha kyuki main IPL khel raha tha. Sabse important tha IPL jeetna, aur shukr hai ki hum jeet gaye. Mujhe laga ki IPL jeetne ke baad mujhe woh pehchaan nahi mili jo main chahta tha, lekin jab tak aapke andar imaandari hai aur aap sahi kaam karte rahte hain, chahe koi dekh raha ho ya nahi, yeh zyada important hai,” Shreyas ne Times of India ko bataya.
Champions Trophy mein bhi kamaal ka pradarshan
Shreyas ne Champions Trophy mein bhi kamaal ka khel dikhaya, 5 innings mein 243 runs banaye. “Pehchaan ki baat karoon toh, matlab hai respect milna. Maine ground par jo bhi mehnat ki, uske liye respect milna chahiye tha. Kabhi kabhi woh unnoticed reh jaata hai, lekin main apni mehnat se kaafi satisfied hoon kyuki woh aasan wickets nahi the,” Shreyas ne kaha. “Singles lena aasan nahi tha, khaaskar jab bowlers itni tight bowling kar rahe the. Mujhe khud par vishwas tha ki agar main do-teen chhakke laga deta hoon toh match ka momentum badal sakta hoon. Thankfully, main woh crucial moments mein laga paya.”
Dilip Vengsarkar ne bhi ki tareef
1983 World Cup winner aur BCCI ke chief selector reh chuke Dilip Vengsarkar ne bhi Shreyas ki tareef ki. “Iyer ne bahut achha khela, lekin main is baat se khush nahi hoon ki woh final mein kaise out hua. Use end tak khelna chahiye tha aur match finish karna chahiye tha. Lekin use apna potential realize karte dekhkar khushi hui. KL ne bhi number six par kuch important innings kheli, lekin main abhi bhi is baat se convinced nahi hoon ki Axar Patel unse pehle number five par batting kare. Left-hand right-hand combination hi shayad iski wajah ho sakti hai.”
Aage kya?
Shreyas ko IPL 2025 ke liye Punjab Kings ne 26.75 crore rupaye mein khareeda hai, aur woh team ke captain bhi honge. Dekhna yeh hoga ki woh apni nayi team ko kaise lead karte hain aur kya kamaal dikhate hain.
