Yuzvendra Chahal is the leading wicket-taker in the history of IPL and has been a pretty successful Indian cricketer as well. In recent times, his personal life has also garnered a lot of attention following his divorce, and there have been plenty of rumours floating around on social media.

One of those rumours is that Shreyas Iyer is a good friend of Dhanashree Verma, Chahal's ex-wife, and that is why the leggie and Punjab Kings skipper do not share a healthy relationship. However, Shreyas and Yuzvendra Chahal have always looked comfortable with each other, and both of them even played together for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025.

Chahal Praises Shreyas' Elite Mindset 

Now, in the podcast with Raj Shamani, Yuzvendra Chahal has given his honest opinion on Shreyas Iyer. The host Raj Shamani initially asked him how Shreyas Iyer is as a captain, and in reply, the leggie immediately said Amazing.

Raj Shamani: "How Is Shreyas Iyer As A Captain?"

Chahal: "Amazing. Good". 

Raj then asks him about the special qualities of Shreyas Iyer, and Chahal replies that he is very positive and has a great attitude on the field. The star leg-spinner also cleared that Shreyas Iyer never talks negatively and is very straightforward.

Raj Shamani: "What's special about him?"

Chahal: "Positive. I like his attitude on field. He doesn't talk negative and all and very straightforward".

Chahal Highlights Shreyas Iyer's Achivement As Captain

The host then questions Chahal on the underrated tag for Shreyas Iyer. In reply, the Indian cricketer stated that his bat does the talking and then spoke about Shreyas Iyer's leadership qualities and how he has taken different teams to a strong position in the IPL.

Yuzvendra Chahal then goes on to talk about the atmosphere at the Mullanpur Stadium during the PBKS game against KKR. The cricketer has played for RCB earlier, one of the most popular franchises, but the cricketer stated that the Mullanpur crowd was the loudest he has heard in his life in IPL during the game between PBKS and KKR.

Raj Shamani: "Do you think he is underrated? Unke itne baat nahi hoti jeetne hone chahiye".

Chahal: "I think unka bat baate karta hai. Last year woh, jeetne bhi saaal khele hai DC ko 10 saal baad final khilayega, KKR ko 10 saal baad jeetaya and abhi hum playoffs khele. Iss saal seriously woh humne jo match dekha (PBKS vs KKR), isse zada loud stadium maine apne life me nahi dekha in IPL. Usse zada maine nahi dekha, jo shor tha matlab, har ball pe".

Thus, Yuzvendra Chahal has showered praise on Shreyas Iyer in his recent interview. He also talked honestly about his failed marriage in the same podcast. Though his comments on Shreyas were related to the cricket field, they show that he has great respect and admiration for his IPL skipper, contrary to the rumours on social media.
