Digital Desk: Shreyas Iyer, the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024, is basking in success as his team remains undefeated in the league, marking a perfect start to their campaign. After facing inquiries regarding his injury and domestic cricket commitments before the IPL, Iyer has put those concerns behind him and is enjoying his time on the field.
"During my first year in in IPL, I noticed a very beautiful girl sitting in the stands and I waved hello to her. This happened many years ago. At that time Facebook was very popular. I was hoping to get a message and kept checking. That is the only incident that happened to me," he replied.
Recently, Iyer made an appearance on the 'Kapil Sharma Show' alongside Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma, where light-hearted banter ensued. Kapil Sharma humorously remarked on the cameraman's focus on female fans holding posters saying 'Shreyas Marry Me!', to which Iyer, being a bachelor, shared a nostalgic anecdote about waving to a girl in the stands during his early IPL days.
During the episode, Rohit Sharma reflected on the loss in the 2023 World Cup final, emphasizing the importance of scoring runs in big matches and creating pressure on the opposition.
When asked about his childhood idol, Iyer acknowledged Rohit Sharma's influence on his cricketing journey, citing similarities in their Mumbai upbringing. He clarified that his admiration for Rohit was genuine and not just for the sake of the camera or his proximity as the Indian captain.
Rohit, in jest, quipped about the banter that goes on in the dressing room, with younger players saying things about him behind his back. His response left the audience in stitches.
The connection between Iyer and Rohit showcased a lighter side of cricket amidst the intensity of competition. As Iyer continues to lead Kolkata Knight Riders with finesse on the field, his jovial interactions off the field add to his charm as a cricketer and a personality.
