The cricketer got engaged with Shruti in November last year. While most of his teammates at KKR went home and or got busy at National duty in the T20 World Cup 2024, franchise CEO Venky Mysore and fellow teammate Varun Chakravarthy made sure to be present on Iyer’s most important day of his life.
A huge fan of WWE, Iyer has been one of the vital cogs in the KKR lineup for the last four seasons. He grabbed the limelight during the second phase of IPL 2021 in Dubai when his power-hitting as an opener played a huge role in KKR’s road to the final. It was after IPL 2021, Iyer made his international debut.

The next two years didn’t go well for Iyer as he had to go through a leg injury before shining once again in IPL 2024. Batting in the middle order, Iyer scored 370 runs in 15 games at a strike rate of 158.79 including four fifties. His highest score of 70 in the recently concluded season came against Mumbai Indians.
Regarding Shruti, Iyer’s wife is employed as a Merchandise Planner at Lifestyle International Private Limited in Bengaluru, according to reports. She had completed her BCom degree from PSG College of Arts and Science, and also is a Master’s degree holder in Fashion Management from the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT).
