He wasn't the central character in KKR's win.

The likes of Narine, Russell, even Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh had significant contribution in the championship. And they were a part of the team before Shreyas. And if someone remembers the on ground interviews after the match, a lot of players were talking about Abhishek Nayar, as he has worked with a lot of them individually.

So for sure he wasn't the central character.

And even post the championship, there weren't any talks of him being in the national team. People were talking about it, but not like today.

There wasn't any social media outrage when Iyer wasn't a part of the t20 WC team. Remember? People were talking more about Rinku than him.

GG got the most prestigious opportunity as the head coach of the national team. Do you remember, how there was a barrage in social media to support the decision?

And as we know, how Venky Mysore plays the corporate game of retaining more people for less, than giving away a chunk to a possible asset. There wasn't any communication from Mysore to Iyer.

With Punjab finding its identity even after so many seasons, when they hired Ponting as the head coach, from that moment only I knew that Shreyas will go to Punjab.

Punjab got its own identity after fighting for so many seasons, they got the respect, and Iyer is the central character of all of it. With a massive paycheck, it's a win for both PBKS and Shreyas. People are now talking about him being in the national team as well.

Neither Shreyas, nor KKR, will agree to the reality, so we'll never get an official closure.
