All hail Shreyas freaking Iyer. The dude led three different teams(DC, KKR and Punjab) to the playoffs and won with KKR too despite getting screwed by shitty BCCI again and again over the course of time. Sarpanch!
Coming to RCB vs LSG, RCB should win it if Hazlewood is back. However, if he isn't back, it could get tricky though I still think Bangalore will win.
Iyer is young and he should stay out of politics for his own good. None of the regular members in the Indian cricket team publicly states their political affiliation (perhaps with the exception of Ravindra Jadeja, whose wife is a BJP MP). Even Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is retired and personally close to N Srinivasan refrains from such stuff. And they have solid reasons to do so. Iyer is a bit outspoken and this has impacted his career growth. His domain is cricket and I would like him to focus on it rather than mixing it with politics.
