Rumor spread about me, but I have my strength: Shreyas Iyer’s big statement came out.

In IPL 2025, Shreyas Iyer is set to command Punjab Kings. He had won the title to Kolkata Knight Risers under his leadership last season, but the franchise did not retain him. Shreyas scored 530 runs in 11 matches in the ODI World Cup 2023. But they were dropped from the Central Contract and said that he could not play short balls. Despite all this, Shreyas Iyer remained adamant, showed confidence in himself and faced every challenge.

Iyer scored 243 runs in the Champions Trophy and was the highest run -scorer for India. Captain Rohit Sharma also described him as a silent hero of the team’s victory. Recently, before the start of IPL 2025, Shreyas Iyer talked about a lot of things during a media interview.

Batting at number-4 is Shreyas Iyer likes

According to the report of India Today, Shreyas Iyer said that when he bats on number-4, he feels familiar.

“I think I am entitled to the position of number 4. Whether it is 2023 World Cup or now Champions Trophy, I feel the most. I feel adamant and this is where I will represent India whenever I represent India.

Such a misconception made about Shreyas

Talking further, Shreyas said that, such a belief was made that he is weak in front of short balls. He said that he always knew about his strength and abilities and kept trusting himself.

“Perhaps this perception was made or perhaps I was typed up. But I always knew my strength, my ability and I also had more than my current process.
