India batter Shreyas Iyer has been advised to focus on delivering impactful performances as he looks to work his way back into the national T20I side.

Cricket experts and former players have stressed that consistent, match-winning contributions in domestic and franchise cricket will play a crucial role in strengthening his case for selection. The emphasis, they suggest, should remain firmly on his batting rather than leadership ambitions at this stage.

“Focus on leaving an impact—captaincy will come in due course,” is the message being echoed, highlighting that performance remains the primary criterion for a return to the shortest format.

Iyer, a dependable middle-order batter, has previously been part of India’s T20 plans. However, with increasing competition for spots, selectors are keeping a close watch on players who can perform under pressure and adapt to fast-changing match scenarios.

While leadership roles may come later, Iyer’s immediate task is clear: deliver consistent and influential innings to reclaim his place in India’s T20I setup.
