IPL 2025 Auction: The winning captain of the last concluded edition of IPL, Shreyas Iyer is known for his composed captaincy and solid batting in the middle order. With Shreyas Iyer being released from the KKR squad, Iyer could emerge as a prime target for teams searching for a new leader. With Shreyas Iyer entering the auction pool, several franchises will be eager to acquire his services. Let us check out 3 teams that might target Shreyas Iyer, in IPL 2025 Auction.
Teams that might target Shreyas Iyer for IPL 2025
Delhi Capitals (DC)
The Delhi Capitals could look to reunite with their former skipper Shreyas Iyer. He successfully led the team to the IPL 2020 final. His captaincy marksheet was further approved by Kolkata Knight Riders as he led them to their third IPL title last season. With the team likely to part ways with Rishabh Pant before the 2025 season, Delhi will need a new captain to rebuild their side.
Mumbai Indians (MI)
There were also rumours of Shreyas Iyer going to Mumbai Indians for the upcoming IPL 2025. MI endured a poor season last year as they finished at the bottom of the points table. Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, the team performed quite poorly, as the MI think tank may look to change their skipper once again in the upcoming edition.
Punjab Kings (PBKS)
With Shikhar Dhawan retiring from all formats earlier this year, Punjab Kings are on the lookout for a new leader. Iyer’s experience as an IPL captain and his consistent performances with the bat could make him the perfect replacement.
Punjab have struggled with stability in their leadership and bringing in a composed and tactically sound player like Iyer could change their fortunes. If Iyer joins the squad, Punjab Kings could finally establish the consistency they have been seeking for years.
