Shreyas Santosh Iyer (born 6 December 1994) is an Indian international cricketer who plays for the Indian cricket team as a right-handed batter. Currently, he is bought by Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League.He has played in all formats for the Indian cricket team. Iyer scored a century in his debut test match and a half-century in the second innings against New Zealand in November 2021, thus becoming the first Indian player to achieve the milestone.[1][2] Iyer plays for Mumbai in domestic cricket and captained the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League from 2022 to 2024. He played for the India Under-19 cricket team at the 2014 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[3] He was named in the India Squad for 2023 Cricket World Cup, and scored a century against New Zealand in the semi-finals. He was a part of the Indian squad that won the 2023 Asia Cup. He won his first IPL title as captain in the 2024 Indian Premier League, becoming the 5th Indian player to lead a team to the IPL title victory.

He made headlines when the then Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) bought him at the 2015 IPL auction for 2.6 crore (about US$416,000). He made 439 runs that season and won the IPL Emerging Player of the Year award. Over the next six seasons, he became a mainstay of the side and its captain, making over 400 runs in four different seasons.[4] He later broke the record for most expensive player in the IPL after the Punjab Kings bought him for 26.75 crores. That record was broken in the same auction when the Lucknow Super Giants bought Rishabh Pant for 27 crores.
