He praised Iyer for his brilliant Captaincy, and stated his brilliant leadership record for India A where he added ” He led India A side under our helm and you would be surprised to hear that 10 series that he played as Captain he was able to win 8 out of them. He has been in and around as Captain. He has been groomed for that particular slot” said Prasad while discussing things in detail with RevSportz.
