What Shreyas Iyer has done in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is called hitting the right target at the right time. He hit a stormy century and chose the day for it a day before the IPL auction. The mega auction of IPL 2025 is to be held on 24 November, and before that on 23 November, the Mumbai captain hit a stormy century in the match against Goa in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The stormy century from Shreyas Iyer's bat before the IPL 2025 auction is also being seen as his captaincy audition.

Iyer has given his audition, now who will be chosen as the captain?

Iyer was the captain of KKR in the last season of IPL. Under his captaincy, KKR also won the title of the last season of IPL. But before the IPL 2025 auction, the Kolkata franchise did not retain Iyer. Now that Iyer has entered the auction instead of being retained, money will definitely rain on him.
