De Villiers said, "Shreyas Iyer has been absolutely incredible. Doubts were raised about him as captain and a lot of talk happened. I have kept an eye on him since the beginning of the tournament. He is an intelligent person and a smart cricketer. The way he acts as a captain, "He's calm and patient, that's what I like. He never looks rushed, never nervous. Even though you know inside you feel a little nervous, especially playing at Eden Gardens."
