Shreyas Iyer Complete Bio & Career

Shreyas Iyer was just 12 years old when he was discovered by the coach Pravin Amre at the Shivaji Park Gymkhana. It was Pravin Amre who coached and assisted him in his initial cricketing career.  Iyer teammates and style of play was compared to the legendary Virender Sehwag by his teammates. He was a prodigy since his childhood and therefore his initial level cricket journey is well made and crafted in documented short-film called 'Shreyas Iyer Documentary - A Father's Dream. It was directed by the famous cricket expert Aayush Puthran.
 
It was in the year 2014 when Shreyas played for the Trent Bridge Cricket Team during a trip to the United Kingdom, he represented them in three matches and scored 297 runs at an astounding average of 99. His best on that tour was 171.  Shreyas Iyer then made his first-class debut for Mumbai in the 2014-15 season and in his debut season, he became the highest run scorer for them in that season and immediately came into the reckoning. His tally that season was 809 runs at a healthy average of over 50, and was the only shining star in an otherwise unforgettable season for Mumbai.  He has made number three position on his own in the Mumbai domestic team.
 
In the 2015 IPL player auctions, Iyer was in demand and created a lot of buzzes that he was sold for a handsome 2.6 crores to the IPL team Delhi Daredevils. That Iyer, he became the highest paid uncapped player in the IPL. He didn’t disappoint as he scored 439 runs in that season representing the Delhi Daredevils with an average of 33.76 and a strike rate of nearly 130. His second season with Mumbai was even more successful as he scored 1,321 runs in a single first-class season. He scored as many as seven half-centuries and four centuries at an average of 73.39, and thus became the top scorer of that Indian domestic season. In the process, he became the second player to score 1,300 runs in a Ranji Trophy season.
 
His prolific run-making earned him a spot in the Indian Test side when Australia toured India in 2017. He though was not included in the playing eleven. He finally made his debut for team India against the touring New Zealand on 1st November 2017. However, he didn't get the opportunity to bat in his first match, he finally got his chances in the second match and looked promising until he got out on 23. He was given an extended run when he got selected for the Sri Lanka Series in December 2017 and made the most of his chances as he played a gem of an innings of 88 in only his second ODI. He was soon left out of the side due to some poor performances. He went back to domestic cricket and scored heavily. He made a comeback in the national side in 2019 and since then has made number 4 spot his own in white ball cricket.
