The final leg of the ongoing season of the IPL is happening today with the encounter between Bengaluru and Punjab Kings scheduled to start at 7:30 PM at Ahmedabad International Stadium. There is a lot more than what meets the eye with this game.
As we had reported already, both Bengaluru and Punjab did not win the IPL trophy in their history, so no matter who wins it this year, history will be created as IPL finds a new champion.
Coming to another topic, that is in discussion now, this game has a lot more than just IPL prospect as it tends to potentially trigger a national team debate as well.
Social media is absolutely buzzing about the captaincy skills of Shreyas Iyer, and it needs to be said that he has been absolutely impeccable with his choices. Shreyas has his consistency with multiple teams as he had taken Delhi, Punjab and Kolkata to the play-offs in the last five seasons.
The only thing that Shreyas Iyer needs now to consolidate his position is to win the IPL trophy this year. If the talented young batsman lead his team to victory against Bengaluru, in the big final, then there’s absolutely nothing stopping him.
There is already a growing demand to announce Shreyas as the next captain of the Indian national team, and this will gain further traction and momentum if he wins the IPL.
Rohit Sharma went to build legacy for himself as Indian captain after having won the IPL trophy with Mumbai Indians. People are expecting Shreyas could potentially show a similar trend by winning the IPL trophy, and then starting his legacy as the captain of Indian cricket team.
