WATCH: Shreyas Iyer wins hearts by making sweet gestures for a fan girl

India's star batter Shreyas Iyer made a heartwarming gesture towards a fan girl by writing a small note and taking a photograph while chilling at a cafe. Iyer is one of the most down-to-earth people and shows sweet gestures toward his fans quite often. The fan girl went to him with a piece of paper, which he signed with a smile on his face. 

Iyer had a pretty good year as he captained Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL and led them to victory. That was not it. He went on to lead the Mumbai team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) and led them to their second title. It was a productive year for him as a leader.

Moreover, for the upcoming IPL season, Iyer was signed by the Punjab Kings (PBKS) at a whopping amount of INR 26.75 crores, making him the second-highest buy in the auction. It has been a lucky year for the player, and he'll hope to have more in the future. 

PBKS sign Shreyas Iyer as their captain for upcoming season of IPL

After spending crores on Shreyas Iyer, the PBKS management has finally given him the captaincy role for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. He will share the dressing room with Ricky Ponting, the former coach of Delhi Capitals. Both of them were a part of the DC franchise in 2020. 

PBKS CEO Satish Menon spoke about Iyer and Ponting and said, "We had identified Shreyas as our captain and were delighted with the auction result. He has already proven himself to master the format, and his vision for the team aligns perfectly with our goals. With him and Ponting joining hands again, we are confident our team has a solid leadership group to guide us to our first title."
