Venkatesh Iyer made a big statement

Let us know that before the start of IPL 2025, Venkatesh Iyer recently said in an interview with ESPN Cricinfo- Iyer said- Sure, I am ready, then I have always said that captaincy is just a tag. I believe in leadership. Being a leader, it is a big role.

You do not need captain’s tag to become a leader in your dressing room. You just need to set the example. You need to become a good role model both inside and outside the field, which I am currently doing in MP.

Iyer further said- I am not the captain of the MP team, but my opinion is respected and I really like to live in an environment where every person should have the freedom to give his opinion. And there should be freedom to give only opinions and suggestions and they should be taken in the right spirit.
