5 Players who may make it to the Indian World Cup squad on the back of IPL performance

Shreyas Iyer

Extra responsibility of captaincy has helped Iyer perform better

Delhi is one of the few teams which is having a mediocre IPL and in order to change its fortunes the team management decided to hand over the captaincy to the young Shreyas Iyer from Gautam Gambhir.

The move has worked wonders for the young man's batting as he has been brilliant with the bat ever since he took over the captaincy mantle. Iyer has become extremely consistent this season and he has been putting impressive performances back to back.

Iyer got a chance in the Indian team in their away series against Sri Lanka and performed brilliantly for the side. He struggled a bit against the South Africans and was later dropped from the team and he wasn't even part of the team which won the Nidadhas Trophy.

Iyer's performance in this year's IPL has been stunning and it is only natural that he gets a chance to play for the country. He can be a brilliant number 4 batsman for the Indian team.
