A Fairytale Ending After a Stellar IPL Season
This joyous occasion follows Iyer’s exceptional performance in IPL 2024, where he played a pivotal role in securing KKR’s third IPL title. His consistent batting throughout the season saw him score a commendable 370 runs in just 14 matches, maintaining a phenomenal strike rate of 158.80. Iyer’s impressive batting prowess included four well-deserved half-centuries, with his highest score reaching 70 in IPL 2024.
Iyer’s contribution to KKR’s victory wasn’t limited to just statistics. His remarkable half-century in the grand finale against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) proved instrumental in securing a comfortable win for the Knights and etching their name in IPL history once again.
