The all-rounder on numerous occasions has admitted that he is a die-hard fan of Rajinikanth. He added that he never misses any of the Superstar’s films. “A Thalaivar devotee. I can watch his movies ‘n’ number of times. He’s a legend,” Iyer was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
As far as cricket is concerned, in the Vijay Hazare Trophy match between Madhya Pradesh and Chandigarh, the former side had posted a mammoth total of 331/9 on the board, with Iyer blasting a sensational 113-ball 151.
Iyer had grabbed all the attention during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 edition. Being the opening batting for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Iyer scored 370 runs at an average in excess of 40 and even played a key role in helping the side reach the final. He had even made his India debut against New Zealand in November 2021.
