Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy success in IPL for various teams

Shreyas Iyer has the second-best captaincy win percentage in IPL.

In 2022, Shreyas Iyer was roped in by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). In his debut season as KKR's captain, the team endured a poor run, finishing seventh on the points table. An injury-affected 2023 ruled the Mumbai batter out for the entire season, with Nitish Rana taking up the duties. Iyer returned to captain the side in 2024, making it a special year for himself and the franchise, as KKR lifted their third IPL trophy, ending their 10-year title drought.

In the final against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Iyer remained unbeaten on six during the 114-run chase. That year, the 30-year-old scored 351 runs in 14 innings at a strike rate of 146.86. However, despite his heroics and leading the team to IPL glory, he was released ahead of the IPL 2025 mega-auction.
