Who is Venkatesh Iyer? – This is the question of fans during the IPL 2021. An MBA in Finance and a Rajinikanth fan, or a exciting opener who has helped Kolkata Knight Riders turn around their IPL campaign? Or a medium-pacer who has been selected as a net bowler for India at the upcoming T20 World Cup? Or a brilliant fielder in the deep who takes catches with ease? Of course, he is all of the above, but if Knight Riders' mentor David Hussey is to be believed! Iyer is a Stephen Fleming clone as well.

India are the favourites and begin against rivals Pakistan – to whom they have never lost at an ICC tournament – as they go in the hunt for a first World Cup since 2007. Five years after losing a heart-stopping T20 World Cup final to the West Indies, Eoin Morgan's England start as narrow favourites in their bid to become double world champions despite the absence of Ben Stokes. In search of a finger spinner, Virat Kohli has turned to Ravi Ashwin with MS Dhoni in tow as mentor. Kohli remains the format’s all-time leading run scorer and is in decent form, averaging 46.2 over the series against England, but he is stepping down as captain after the tournament nonetheless, just as he did from Royal Challengers Bangalore at the conclusion of this season’s IPL.

Whether he is part of Chennai Super Kings as a player or not come 2022, MS Dhoni and the franchise will continue to be inseparable, as far as top boss N Srinivasan is concerned.
