IPL 2025: Shreyash Iyer Captaincy Record

The 18th season of the Indian Premier League is just around the corner, with just a few days remaining for the tournament. In the new age of IPL, young captains are dominating the seasons. One of them is last season's champion, Shreyash Iyer, who led the Kolkata Knight Riders to their third title in IPL 2024. This article discusses Shreyas Iyer's captaincy stats and record in T20 format.

The upcoming IPL season will start on 22nd March with a match between the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Royal Challengers Bangalore. This season will last two months and will end on 25th May with the finals.
