The Mumbai cricketer recently became the second-most expensive player in IPL history. During the IPL 2025 mega auction, Shreyas Iyer was acquired by Punjab Kings for INR 26.75 crore, making him the second-highest purchase ever, just behind Rishabh Pant, who was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for INR 27 crore in the same auction.

The 30-year-old has played 116 IPL matches, amassing 3,127 runs with 21 half-centuries. He also led Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL title in 2024, marking his first triumph as captain.
