IPL 2022: 'At Least We Know Today That Captain Has No Role,' Ajay Jadeja Responds To Shreyas Iyer's Remark That The CEO Is Involved In Team Selection

Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja said the comments were not surprising because KKR CEO Venky Mysore is acknowledged to be involved in the team’s operations.

Shreyas Iyer has said that the Kolkata Knight Riders’ decision, which has been criticized this season, is influenced by the coach and the team’s CEO.

The selection problems of the Kolkata Knight Riders have been in the news all through this Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign, and a new chapter was added when captain Shreyas Iyer revealed that the team’s CEO is also involved.

KKR has been chopping and changing players all through the campaign, making as many as five lineup changes against the Mumbai Indians on Tuesday.

The strategy paid off, as KKR won the match by 52 runs. Iyer made the comments after the match when he spoke about the challenge of having to make regular lineup changes.

‘If they win, the CEO is praised; if they lose, the CEO is blamed’: Ajay Jadeja

Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja stated that remarks were not surprising because KKR CEO Venky Mysore is known to be involved in the team’s management.

“It comes as no surprise.” This is the executive team. If they win, the CEO is praised; if they lose, the CEO is punished. This has always been the case, and we’ve seen examples of that before,” Jadeja stated on Cricbuzz.

“There are many differing viewpoints; some believe he should not be participating.” Some believe that the coach should not be engaged and that the captain should make the decision. Some even believe that “leave the captain be,” because “you never know if he will be around or not,” and that “let the CEO decide” Ajay Jadeja Added.

On Monday, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Mumbai Indians (MI) by 52 runs at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai in Match 56 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season.
