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

Iyer gave audition, now who will choose 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 if Iyer has entered the auction without being retained, then money will definitely rain on him. This is also possible because Shreyas Iyer, besides being a batsman, is also a captaincy option. And many teams need captains in IPL 2025.
