IPL 2025’s second-most expensive player, Shreyas Iyer, is all set to lead Punjab Kings and will aim to bring them success, just as he did for KKR in IPL 2024. Always a match-winner when his team needed him the most, this superstar has steadily established himself as one of the best middle-order batters.
We saw his impressive performance in the Champions Trophy for India, but if we focus solely on Iyer and his captaincy, he is no stranger to this role. He has led multiple teams in the past, primarily in the IPL and also did well in domestic cricket, though not for India. However, his captaincy has always drawn attention. Let’s take a look at Shreyas Iyer’s overall captaincy record and see his performance as a leader so far.
Shreyas Iyer overall captaincy record
Now, breaking Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy stats into two categories, away and home matches, we see slightly different results. Since he has captained only in the IPL and not for India, his record is limited to franchise cricket.
Focusing on his IPL captaincy in away matches, Shreyas Iyer led Delhi Capitals in 13 games, securing seven wins and six losses. For KKR, he managed six victories in 15 matches.
His home record, however, is surely stronger. With Delhi Capitals, he won eight out of 15 home games, while for KKR, the record is even better, with 11 wins in 17 matches.
