AB de Villiers connects the snob of the Shreyas Iyer Asian Cup to fight with Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill
The drummer of the national cricket team in the south of South Africa, AB de Villiers, speculated huge reasons behind the snob of the star shreyas Iyer of the team of the Asia 2025 Cup of India.
One of the assumptions taken by AB de Villiers was that the presence of Shreyas Iyer would have meant “too many leaders” in the Indian locker room and a confrontation between him, Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill.
Who knows what’s going on in camera – AB de Villiers
The chief selector of the Cricket Control Council in India (BCCI), Ajit Agarkar, was at the end of a strong reaction since his announcement of the Indian team for the Asian Cup 2025.
Your daily cricket dose!
He mainly faced criticism for the non-selection of Shreyas Iyer in the team despite the coherent and exceptional performances of the striker in 2025.
Iyer looked in a stellar touch in the ODI series at home against the National Cricket Team of England and finished as the first Run-Heter of India at the Champions Trophy ICC 2025.
After that, he directed the Punjab Kings (PBKS) of the front in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 by playing explosive blows and took the team to the final, which they finally lost against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
The absence of Shreyas Iyer of the Asian 2025 Cup team shocked a lot, and now the legendary Blockman AB of Villiers expressed his surprise in the face of the decision of the selectors. Speaking on his YouTube channel, AB de Villiers said:
“Who knows what is happening in camera. Maybe even Shreyas knows. There could be a few things that have happened over the years, which is determined why it is not the flavor of this tournament. I don’t know what is the reason because it will be in my team more often.”
He has matured a lot and has shown many leadership qualities – AB de Villiers
The Proteas praised Ier a lot, saying he has matured and has become a brilliant leader. He said:
“I just read this team and I thought where Shreyas Iyer can integrate. I saw fans upset by his exclusion and Shreyas will be the most upset because he has played the very good cricket in recent years. He has matured a lot and has shown a lot of leadership qualities.”
While speculating on a reason behind the Iyer snob of the Indian team for the continental tournament, from Villiers said:
“By thinking of when I was a captain, if there is a 50-50 call between two players, I always leaned over to the guy who offers more than one point of view of the team off the field. When he is 50-50 on the field, you have to start looking at other areas like” he adds value in the team room, has a smile on his face, does he keep some of the other players around him? “

Maybe it will be too much a confrontation with him there-AB de Villiers
Another reason why De Villiers estimated that this could have led to the ouster of Iyer was a possible wardrobe war between him, Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill because of the presence of too many leaders.
“Maybe that has something to do with that. I only make a complete supposition because it is weird that a quality player like him does not do the starting team for Team India, in particular with the qualities of leadership he brings,” he said
“Perhaps it will be too much a confrontation with him there and maybe there are too many leaders and too many captains. Maybe the truth will come out one day and we will know why Shreyas is struggling to enter the team of India.”
