However, it is reported that Shreays Iyer wanted the captaincy of the team but the management decided to go with Rishabh Pant as their captain. In the beginning, Iyer was leading the side ahead of Pant but he suffered a shoulder injury during the home ODI series against England. That injury ruled him out of the first leg of IPL 2021 and in his absence Pant was named the skipper. After recovering, Iyer joined the team ahead of the second leg, in the UAE, but he was not given his captaincy back. Rishabh Pant continued as the skipper and led them to a second successive playoffs appearance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4564\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4564\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shreyas-iyer-surgery-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"Shreyas Iyer shoulder injury\" width=\"696\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shreyas-iyer-surgery-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shreyas-iyer-surgery-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shreyas-iyer-surgery-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shreyas-iyer-surgery-696x387.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shreyas-iyer-surgery-1068x594.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shreyas-iyer-surgery-756x420.jpg 756w, https:\/\/www.sabguru.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shreyas-iyer-surgery.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4564\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shreyas Iyer shoulder injury<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now Iyer will go into the auction and there are few teams where Iyer can head to for the 15th season.
