NEW DELHI: Trophies and Shreyas Iyer have gone hand in hand throughout 2024, marking a remarkable year for the star batter and captain. The trend began with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where he led the team to their third Indian Premier League (IPL) title since 2014. KKR had previously won two titles under Gautam Gambhir, in 2012 and 2014, but after a long wait, Iyer led the run to a third title in style.
Now, Iyer has added another prestigious title to his captaincy portfolio. Under his leadership, Mumbai won the 2024-25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) on Sunday, clinching their second SMAT title by defeating Madhya Pradesh in the final of the domestic T20 competition by five wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
