One of the top straight and long hitters that India has produced, Shreyas Iyer has turned 29 today, i.e., December 6, 2023.
It all started in 2015 for Shreyas Iyer when he was onboarded by Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) for INR 2.6 crore. This made big news and got him huge media attention. He won the Indian Premier League (IPL) Emerging Player of the Year award that year for scoring 439 runs. He established himself as the team’s captain and continued to be a mainstay over the next six seasons, scoring more than 400 runs in four different seasons.
Shreyas Iyer has always been part of the Indian circuit since 2017 but has never been an integral part of the side until now. The recently concluded ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 was one of the greatest outings for him, as he scored 530 runs from 11 innings at an average of 66 and a strike rate of over 113.
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain, who missed the last edition, will now have new goals to achieve with his side in the coming season. It is only a matter of time before he takes the massive leap towards becoming one of the greatest strikers India have ever produced.
Given his social media presence and his reputation for effortless batting, Shreyas Iyer is admired by young individuals. Following an impressive performance on the pitch in the past couple of months, Iyer is in red-hot form and is one of the most desirable cricketers for brands. Helmed as one of the batters who will take the Indian batting dominance to new levels, let’s have a look at Iyer’s endorsements, earnings, and charitable contributions to date:
Net Worth:
The estimated net worth of Shreyas Iyer is INR 53 crore. His endorsement agreements, IPL contracts, and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) salaries contribute to the accumulation of this enormous sum. The Indian batter lives in a 2618-square-foot Mumbai flat, which is valued at over INR 11.85 crore.
As an avid automobile enthusiast, Iyer owns a Lamborghini Huracan valued at INR 3.75 crore, an Audi S5, a Mercedes-AMG G 63 4Matic SUV valued at INR 2.28 crore, along with BMW, and a Hyundai i20 Sportz.
Endorsements:
Shreyas Iyer signed several endorsement deals over the years. Big names like boAt, Gillette, Google Pixel, BharatPe, FanCraze, Mutual Funds Sahi Hai, Red Bull, Myprotein, CEAT, Britannia, Manyavar, Ultrahuman, and Dream11 are among those on the list.
Charity:
As Shreyas Iyer chooses to keep this matter quiet, nothing is known about it. But a few years ago, he and other cricket players took on movie stars in a charity football match. In addition, the right-handed batter gave his worn gloves, which he had on when he hit his first international century, to a good cause.
