An versatile and explosive left-handed all-rounder, Venkatesh Iyer is a modern-day game-changer who excels at providing high-octane starts and clinical finishes. Known for his towering presence at the crease and his deceptive medium-pace bowling, he first took the cricketing world by storm with a breakout 2021 season for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Since then, Iyer has evolved into a reliable international performer for India and a cornerstone of the T20 circuit. His championship-winning pedigree was on full display during the 2024 season, where his consistent run-scoring played a pivotal role in KKR lifting the trophy. After being a record-breaking signing in the 2025 auction, he joins the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the 2026 campaign, where he is expected to add immense depth and “firepower” to the defending champions’ middle order.
