He shared, “Soon after the auction news was out, this girl whom I knew started messaging me. On confronting her as to why she is desperately trying to reach out, I got to know that she was doing so because she was happy for me. That’s when I understood that rather than getting to know me, she was behind the money,” recalls Shreyas.

A brilliant cricketer on the field and a great magician on the side lines, Shreyas Iyer has won the hearts of many Indians with his spectacular skills. We can only wait and watch what this young cricket star has to offer to his fans.
