‘Does Shreyas Iyer Really Deserve’: Fans Question PBKS 26.75 Crore Bid For Shreyas Iyer In IPL 2025 Mega Auction
Shreyas entered the auction with a base price of INR 2 crore and KKR gave it a shot but then they backed off at INR 10 crore. Shreyas has been in great form as he smashed a hundred while playing for Mumbai against Goa in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. He ended up making 130 runs off 57 balls with the help of 11 fours and 10 sixes. It was Iyer’s knock that powered Mumbai to 250 for the loss of four wickets.
A lot of fans also questioned Iyer’s selection at such a massive price.
