On some occasions, he was seen playing last season for KKR at number five and six.

In a press conference, Iyer said, “We all know that IPL is an important part of Indian cricket. If I want to install myself in a place in T20, then it will be three numbers. I am focused on this. I will not say that we are going to do a plan or conversation about which number I am going to bat. This time I will give me a lot of focus on that place.”

After working with Ricky Ponting in Delhi Capitals, Iyer has once again come with him. The two together took DC to the playoffs continuously from 2019 to 2021, including the 2020 final.

Ponting said, “If you go back and look at the auction, I was very clear who I wanted as captain. Even I got what we wanted. I was eager to work again with Shreyas. We were very good in Delhi for a long time. I have worked with the players with whom I have worked with the best players. He is one of the brilliant humans. He is a brilliant person. Can.”

“We have found the good leader we have got. We have spent good time together and have achieved success. We understand each other well. As you know that the relationship between captain and coach is most important in my team.”

In IPL 2024, PBKs could win only one of their seven home matches, which he played in Mullanpur and Dharamshala. The team finished second from below in the points table. This time Ponting is engaged in the trick to win at home.

“As far as I understand, if you do not win a home match, you will not win IPL either. This is a big reason that I am sitting here. I want very difficult coaching challenges and we have found that. However, we don’t have pressure on us. What do we have to lose?”

“We are going to play a lot of different and entertaining cricket. I know that we have the players who can do so.”
