Not to forget, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) had two bad back-to-back seasons in IPL and the experiment of giving captaincy to Kane Williamson is not working. The fact that an overseas batter is their captain disturbs the balance of the side as well. That is why they may look for an Indian captain for the upcoming season. And Iyer is someone they will surely target. (Source: Twitter)

Virat Kohli has quit RCB captaincy but he will continue to play for the franchise. However, RCB need a good captain who can win thet elusive title. Iyer can be a good choice. With him and Kohli in the middle order, it will boost their batting as well. (Source: Twitter)
