KKR coach reveals new Shreyas Iyer twist after batter axed from BCCI central contract: 'He had an injury but…'

Hindustan Times  

Kolkata Knight Riders Chandrakant Pandit is taken aback knowing that the captain of his Indian Premier League team Shreyas Iyer lost his place in the BCCI central contracts. However, Pandit, who feels Iyer will eventually claw his way back into Team India's scheme of things, added a new twist to the saga that Iyer indeed was injured but he managed to recover in time. Pandit backs Iyer to come back strong Pandit, who worked with Iyer closely last year has backed the India batter to come back strongly despite the setback. Pandit is sure that given the quality Iyer possesses, he deserves a place in India's one of the top brackets – Shreyas belonged to the INR 3 crore bracket B. Pandit guarantees that this blow will only make Iyer fiercely dedicated and highly motivated to come back stronger.
