While the reflector naturally falls on SHUBMAN GILL, named by the new Indian Captain ODI, another significant development has appeared quietly: Shreyas Iyer was promoted to Vice-President in 50-Over-Over-Over-Over for the Indian team.
On Saturday, October 4, the Board of Trustees in India (BCCI) announced the Indian tour of Australia and revealed a 15 -member line -up with Gill, who led side and Iyer as his representative. The announcement comes in the middle of a wider lead, when Rohit Sharma resigned as a captain of ODI, but continued to appear as a specialized opener.
Iyer’s way back to the leading role was remarkable. Once fell from a national party and overlooked in the annual detention of BCCI, Iyer has constantly climbed on the way back by consistent performances and manifestations of maturity in and outside the field. Its promotion to the vice -chairman signals the confidence of selector in it as long -term leading options in format 50.
The 28 -year -old dough in 2023 had an excellent ODI World Cup campaign and recorded 530 runs in 11 matches in the home house, although India did not reach Ahmedabad. His ability to perform in high -pressure situations and leading shifts made him a natural candidate for a leading position.
Iyer also established himself as a capable leader in the Premier League and domestic cricket. He Captain Kolkata Knight Riders for the IPL title in 2024 and led Kings Panjab to the finalists in 2025. This experience chased his tactical skills for managing and managing human and proved that he can prosper under pressure and inspire those around him.
His credentials of his leadership were further reinforced during Indian master trophy campaign in 2025, Where he ended up as the highest Indian score and second in the tournament, he collected 243 runs in five matches. Performances such as this are why selectors see him as a major character in the main group of the team.
Given that India has not played any ODI since then, this appointment also reflects the access of the council ahead. By named Gill as Captain and Iyer as a vice-capitan, India ensures continuity and building the leadership framework for the future. Both players represent a mixture of experience and youth and provide stability when India looks at the ODI World Cup.
In short, the promotion of Shreyas Iyer to the vice -chairman is proof of his resistance, consistent performances and proven leadership. When men in Blue are preparing for an Australian tour, Iyer’s rise ensures that the team has not only a clear leadership structure, but also a dynamic figure capable of forming Indian ODI wealth in the coming years.
