The names were chosen via a combination of votes from fans and an independent ICC panel of former players and journalists from over a dozen countries.

His performance last month was nothing less than brilliant. In the third and final ODI of the same tour, he scored a match-winning 80 off 111 balls against West Indies. It was followed by a 16-ball 25 in the last T20I of the same tour. Virat Kohli’s usual position at No.3 in the T20Is against Sri Lanka was the setting for three consecutive unbeaten fifties to equal Kohli’s record. He scored 204 runs at an average of 174.35.

Chennai-born Aravind was named Player of the Tournament at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier A, held in Oman in February. The 19-year-old wicketkeeper-batter scored 267 runs at an average of 89.09 and a strike rate of 154.33 in five games to help the UAE qualify for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.

Airee earned himself the nomination at the same tournament. With 159 runs and six wickets, the 22-year-old all-rounder contributed to the victory. Nepal finished third thanks to his efforts. In the quadrangular series against Oman, the UAE, and Ireland, he also scored 142 runs and had a four-for.

KKR appointed India batsman Shreyas Iyer as Morgan’s successor about a couple of weeks ago. In addition to Sourav Ganguly, Brendon McCullum, Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik and Morgan, Iyer will be the sixth captain for the Knight Riders.

Having won the Man of the Series award in a three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, Iyer made three consecutive half-centuries without being dismissed even once.

In a video posted on Kolkata’s social media platform Twitter, Iyer said he has a much different mindset now. “I’m now more experienced and mature in terms of my decision-making and captaincy skills. I’m looking forward to working with every individual in the team to build that synergy that could help the team perform at a higher level,” Iyer said.

Due to a shoulder injury, Iyer did not only miss the first half of IPL 2021 but was also removed as captain by the Delhi Capitals. He played under Rishabh Pant in the second leg of the 14th season in the UAE.

Iyer, who made his debut for Capitals in 2015, played for the franchise for seven consecutive seasons amassing 2,375 runs in 87 matches (second-highest for a Delhi player) at an average and strike rate of 31.66 and 123.95 with 16 half-centuries.

Between 2018 and 2020, Iyer had also led DC in 41 matches (won 21, lost 18 and tied 2), the second-highest total in the history of the cash-rich league. The only player who has led the Capitals (then Daredevils) more than Iyer was former Indian batter Virender Sehwag (52).
Since Delhi did not retain Iyer among their four players, Iyer chose to enter the auction instead of joining either of the two new teams.

It was expected that Iyer would draw immediate interest during the auction in Bengaluru earlier this month. Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow SuperGiants participated in an intense bidding war that skyrocketed Iyer’s price (from a starting price of INR 2 crore).

In the end, it was the Knight Riders who acquired Iyer’s services for a staggering INR 12 crore per season. Iyer, who watched the mega auction from a team hotel with his Indian teammates, recalled being nervous and unable to control his emotions despite “trying” to appear relaxed.

“I watched the auction and KKR immediately went for me. Also, there were other big franchises coming along, and the battle was on. “All of us [Indian team members] were watching the auction together,” Iyer said.

“I felt my heartbeat pumping and I couldn’t control my emotions. I was trying to act relaxed but I was feeling nervous. So, KKR eventually got me. That feeling was amazing. I’m really proud.”

“We are delighted to have been successful in our bid for Shreyas in the IPL auction & to have had the opportunity for him to lead Team KKR. Having impressed everyone as a quality batsman, we are confident that he will excel in his leadership role for Team KKR,” Mysore said.
Brandon McCullum heaped praise on Iyer, calling him one of India’s brightest future leaders and stating he is excited to work with him to bring the team to new heights.

“We are excited to have one of India’s future leaders, Shreyas Iyer, taking the helm at KKR. Having admired Shreyas’ game and captaincy skills from afar, I am looking forward to working closely with him to further the success and style of play we are seeking at KKR,” McCullum was quoted as saying.

The second ODI, which takes place on Wednesday (February 9), is still without Dhawan and Iyer. In spite of this, they have resumed training at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad, where all of the ODIs will be held. BCCI’s medical team is monitoring their condition. Nevertheless, Gaikwad remains in isolation.
In accordance with the protocol, both Shreyas and Shikhar are permitted to light training. The BCCI’s medical team will monitor them before a decision is made on their availability, a BCCI source said, suggesting the Board may not want to rush things.

In the opening ODI, Rohit Sharma’s side didn’t miss the absent players much. The West Indies were skittled out for a paltry 176 at the venue while batting first. Indian bowlers crossed the line in just 28 overs, securing the match by six wickets. As a result, the Men in Blue now lead the three-match series 1-0.

KL Rahul, who was unavailable for the first game, is now in the team for the second ODI. Mayank Agarwal, his Karnataka teammate, is also available for selection. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan opened in the first ODI. Rahul, however, looks likely to open the batting in the second encounter.

“Mayank and Rahul’s return after quarantine strengthens our team. Ultimately, it is up to the team management to decide who will play. We are glad to have them back,” batter Suryakumar Yadav said on the eve of the second ODI.
