Delhi: The identity and prestige during IPL 2025, as captain and batsman, has made no answer to Shreyas Iyer. The final has not been played until the writing of this report, but the reputation of Shreyas Iyer in both these roles is in such a way that the result of the final will not affect him. This identity was not made like this and some special milestones made for it:
- The name of Shreyas Iyer, as captain, may have the record of the first captain to win the IPL Trophy for two different franchises. The special thing that is not paying attention to this record is that Shreyas Iyer can become the first captain to win the trophy for two different teams in two consecutive years.
- Both the captains of the finals Shreyas Iyer and Rajat Patidar were face to face a few months ago and Syed Mushtaq Ali of their state team as captain in the final.
- He has the second biggest score of a batsman-captain in 87 IPL playoffs against Mumbai Indians (qualifier 2) against Mumbai Indians. Only David Warner has a bigger score of 93 (against Gujarat Lions, 2016).
- Shreyas Iyer’s star is shining in such a way that IPL (2), ODI Cup, Champions Trophy, Ranji Trophy, Iranian Trophy, Iranian Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali have been champions from 2023 or have played in the finals.
- The Punjab team has won only the second IPL knockout game under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. This time, before winning against Mumbai Indians, he won against Chennai only in 2014.
- It is not a joke to take 3 different teams to the finals as IPL captain. When he was the captain, Delhi played the final, KKR played the final and became the champion and this year the Punjab team reached the final. Punjab then reached the final after 11 years. The only captain of the IPL who took 3 teams to the final.
- Talking about different teams:
- The Delhi team was never even in the top 5 in the 2013-2018 season, he played in the playoffs in 2019 under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer (first season as a full time captain) and reached his first final in 2020.
- Similarly, Kolkata team played in the playoffs 4 times in the 2015-2023 season but never won the trophy. The trophy was won after 10 years in 2024 under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. Not only this, for the first time, the points were at number 1 in the table.
- Punjab Kings never achieved more than 14 points in the 2015-2024 season, but this season under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer (the first season as his captain), 10 years later, crossed the count of 14 points. This time it was so amazing that the team which could not qualify for the playoffs in 10+ years, was qualified for the playoffs only when two leagues of their share were left.
- One funny thing is that both the previous teams did not worry about this success found under their captaincy. Delhi was dropped and they sold in auction and after that Kolkata even after winning the trophy and sold them in auction.
- At this time, Shreyas Iyer has 50 wins in 86 matches in the records of IPL captain and if we make the basis of 50 wins, only MS Dhoni (83) had achieved this record under the captaincy of the match less than him.
- It is not that the batsman remains less than someone. In its first season, 400+ runs for Delhi Capitals, KKR and Punjab Kings.
