Known for his composure under pressure and his fluent stroke play against both pace and spin, Iyer cemented his spot in India’s middle order, especially in ODIs. He scored his maiden ODI century against New Zealand in 2020 and has been a consistent performer in white-ball cricket. One of his standout performances came during the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, where he played a crucial role in India reaching the final, including a century in the semifinal against New Zealand. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Iyer has been a reliable captain and batsman. He led the Delhi Capitals to their first-ever IPL final in 2020 and now plays for Kolkata Knight Riders, where he continues to be a leader on and off the field. Despite battling a serious back injury in 2023, which required surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation period, Iyer made a strong comeback to international cricket in 2024, showing immense determination and work ethic. Off the field, Shreyas is known for his fashion sense, fitness enthusiasm, and love for dancing.
