Once Shreyas Iyer said.

The biggest mystery is how Shubman Gill was invited to the Royal Box at Wimbledon after being dropped from two T20 World Cups, losing the ODI series against Australia, New Zealand, and England, and getting clean swept by South Africa in Tests at home.

Virat Kohli would’ve won this game for India if Gill and Rohit hadn’t wasted so many balls at the start

The narrative changed very quickly.

In the 1st ODI, almost every commentator kept talking about Shubman Gill's captaincy. Every field change, bowling change, and decision was credited to the captain, as if captaincy was the defining factor behind the result.

But in the next two ODIs, when things didn't go India's way, the conversation suddenly shifted. There was hardly any discussion about the captaincy. Instead, the entire blame was placed on the bowlers.

So, does captaincy only matter when the team wins? If commentators are going to praise the captain after a victory, they should be equally willing to analyse the captain's decisions when the team loses. That is what consistent and unbiased analysis looks like.

The selective narrative is hard to ignore. It feels like the same lobby that was hyping one individual after the first game has now gone silent, while shifting all the responsibility onto the bowlers.

Shreyas Iyer is having a fine England tour, the leadership is bringing best out of Shreyas 🙇

Shreyas Iyer completed his fifty by scoring a long six to Jofra Archer. 🥶🔥

He has been incredible in this England tour.
