Iyer is the reason behind Delhi Capitals resurgence after he took over the captaincy duties from Gautam Gambhir in IPL 2018.
In IPL 2019, the Delhi franchise qualified for the playoffs after a hiatus of seven years and the next year they made their maiden appearance in a final, where they lost to Mumbai Indians.
With 2375 runs from 87 IPL games, Iyer is the third-highest run-scorer of the franchise behind Virender Sehwag (2382) and Rishabh Pant (2498).
Iyer can not only give any team the option of a middle-order batter but also could become a potential candidate for the leadership role.
