Watch: KKR workforce mentor David Hussey heaps reward on captain Shreyas Iyer
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) shared a dressing room video after their win towards Mumbai Indians on Monday. The footage confirmed that workforce mentor David Hussey praising Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy, whereas the latter gave a workforce discuss after that.
“Your (Shreyas Iyer) captaincy tonight was exceptional. You didn’t miss a beat, made all the right bowling changes. The field you set was exceptional. That went a long way to bowling them out for just over 100. So you should be very happy with yourself tonight,” stated Hussey.
This got here on the heels of Shreyas talking in regards to the CEO’s involvement in workforce choice on the post-match presentation. “CEO is also involved in team selection,” the KKR captain stated.
Iyer’s captaincy shares had gone up throughout his Delhi Capitals stint but it surely has drastically plummeted because of poor workforce choice that had prompted even former India head coach Ravi Shastri to ask how world’s No. 1 pacer Pat Cummins could be rested for 5 video games.
Discipline. Belief. Character. 💜
An excellent night time for the Knights! ✌️#AmiKKR #MIvKKR #IPL2022 pic.twitter.com/RQV3xXE3Rm

“Shukar hai Pat Cummins ko khilaya hai. Patha nahi kya kar raha tha bench garam kar ke. Australia captain hai, world class bowler hai aur bithaaya gaya usko! (Thankfully they have played Cummins. Wonder what he was doing warming the bench. He is the Australia captain, a world-class bowler and they still benched him!)” Shastri remarked.
