IMG Reliance, the Indian sports management company, recently added cricketer Shreyas Iyer to its list of talents.

24-year old Shreyas Iyer captained the IPL franchise Delhi Capitals during the eleventh and twelfth seasons of India’s premier T20 competition. In doing so, the cricketer became the youngest captain ever to lead the Delhi side in IPL. Iyer also won the IPL Emerging Player Award in 2017 and is widely known for his big-hitting abilities with the bat.
Shreyas Iyer has represented the Indian team in nine ODIs and six T20Is. The right-handed batsman has scored four half-centuries and his 346 ODI runs have come at an impressive average of 49.42. Iyer registered his highest ODI score of 88 during an epic 213-run partnership with Rohit Sharma against the visiting Sri Lankan team in 2017. His knock came from just 70 balls and his free-flowing innings allowed Rohit to slam his record-breaking third double-ton in ODIs.
