Shreyas Iyer leads Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League and competes for Mumbai in domestic cricket. At the 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup he was a member of the India Under-19 cricket team.

Shreyas Iyer Family

Santosh Iyer who has Keralan ancestry and Rohini Iyer a Tuluva from Mangalore had Shreyas Iyer on December 6 1994 in Chembur Mumbai. 

Iyer was discovered by instructor Pravin Amre at the Shivaji Park Gymkhana when he was 18 years old. When he first started playing cricket Amre trained him. At the age group levels Iyer's colleagues once compared him to Virender Sehwag. 

Shreyas Iyer Education

Shreyas Iyer stated that Thrissur Kerala is where his family originated in an interview with The Hindu.  He received his education at Ramniranjan Anandilal Podar College of Commerce and Economics in Mumbai as well as Don Bosco High School in Matunga. Shreyas Iyer assisted his college team in winning some trophies as he received his diploma from Mumbai's Podar College. 

Shreyas Iyer's Girlfriend

According to rumours Nikitha Shiv is Shreyas Iyer's girlfriend and romantic interest. It is also believed that the two have been seriously in love for a considerable amount of time. However this rumour has received no confirmation from reliable sources. As far as the current situation is concerned the captain of KKR has not made any official comments about whether he is involved in a romantic relationship of any kind.

Shreyas Iyer Cricket

Attacking top-order hitter Shreyas Iyer can combine power and finesse in his strokes. He gained notoriety after Delhi Daredevils paid Rs 2.6 crore (approximately US$416 000) to acquire him in the 2015 IPL auction. He paid it back handsomely by scoring 439 runs that season and winning the IPL Emerging Player of the Year award. He became the team's captain and a mainstay throughout the course of the following six seasons scoring more than 400 runs for them four times.

Iyer advanced through the Under-19 ranks and contributed to India's fifth-place finish at the 2014 World Cup by hitting back-to-back fifty-sevens. The following domestic season he made his first-class debut for Mumbai. After a lacklustre stint in the middle order he was elevated to opener and finished as the team's leading run-getter with 809 runs at an average of over 50. The following year he had a disastrous Ranji Trophy season scoring 1321 runs at 73 and scoring a century in the championship game as Mumbai won their 41st title.

At that point there were clamorous requests for Iyer to be quickly drafted into the India team but it took almost another two years before he made his international debut initially in the white-ball formats. In an ODI against New Zealand in Hamilton in 2020 he scored his first century for India. A little more than a year and a half later this time at home he scored a century and fifty on his Test debut against the same team. He made a chase of 282 against South Africa in an ODI in Ranchi in October 2022 look easy with a well-paced unbeaten 113 that helped India win with plenty of time remaining.

Shreyas Iyer’s IPL Career

Shreyas Iyer known as the most sought-after uncapped player in the IPL earned the distinction of being the highest-earning uncapped player of the 2015 auction after receiving a stunning 2.6 Crores from a base price of 10 Lakhs. Iyer was brought to Delhi by Pravin Amre the Delhi Daredevils' assistant coach at the time. Iyer did not disappoint his childhood coach. After amassing 439 runs during the competition winning the emerging player award displaying his aggressive style of play and pleading with the selectors for an India call-up he became the talk of the town.

Shreyas Iyer's performance in the 2016 season was a dramatic contrast as he only scored 30 runs in the six innings in which he played for Delhi. The Mumbai native found his rhythm again in 2017 and amassed 336 runs with a high score of 96. Iyer however experienced a breakthrough season in 2018. He remained reliable throughout the year and by the middle of the season when Gautam Gambhir had quit the team Iyer had taken over as captain of Delhi. Iyer will be aiming to perform well both as a batsman and as the captain in 2019. He might once again be considered for the Indian World Cup team after a sensational season.
