Veteran spin bowler Amit Mishra feels that the return of Shreyas Iyer will immensely benefit DC in the UAE leg of IPL 2021. Shreyas Iyer was not available for DC in the 1st half of IPL 2021. Iyer incurred a shoulder injury before IPL 2021 started. Iyer is currently training at the NCA and is expected to fully recuperate before the commencement of the UAE leg of IPL 2021.

In the absence of Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant led DC in the 1st leg of the IPL this season. DC performed brilliantly under the captaincy of Pant in the 1st half of IPL 2021. Out of 8 games in the 1st leg of IPL 2021, DC managed to win an impressive 6 games in total. However, with Shreyas Iyer’s return, Rishabh Pant will no longer lead Delhi in the IPL this season.

Shreyas Iyer played a fundamental role in DC’s success in the IPL last season

Delhi Capitals finished 2nd in the IPL last season. Out of 14 matches in the IPL last season, DC managed to win an impressive 8 games in total. Shreyas Iyer played a massive role in DC’s success in the IPL last year. In just 17 matches in the IPL last season, Shreyas Iyer amassed a remarkable 519 runs for DC. The former DC skipper also boasted a solid batting average of 34.60 in the IPL last season. Shreyas Iyer was also quite effective as a leader in the IPL last season. Under Iyer’s captaincy, DC managed to reach the finals of the IPL last season. Unfortunately, DC lost in the final against MI.

Amit Mishra stated that Iyer’s return will also strengthen Delhi’s batting order in the UAE leg of IPL 2021. Mishra finally concluded by stating that the return of Shreyas Iyer will bolster DC’s chances of winning their maiden IPL trophy this season. DC was superb in the 1st leg of IPL 2021. DC fans will expect their team to deliver a similar performance in the UAE leg of IPL 2021.
