While watching the IPL 2022 Mega Auction on TV, Shreyas Iyer said, “My Heart Was Pumping.”

Shreyas Iyer is the talk of the cricketing world right now, thanks to a hat-trick of unbroken fifties against Sri Lanka, which helped India win the T20I series 3-0. Shreyas strengthened his talents in the shorter format after beginning his Test career with a century on debut. His calm demeanor and precise shot selection drew worldwide attention and adoration. As Shreyas prepares to lead Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, his excellent form will delight his IPL team and its fans.

Shreyas, who was signed by KKR for Rs 12.25 crore, recently admitted to being “nervous” while watching the IPL 2022 major auction on television in an interview with KKR.in. After seeing his name appear across the screen, he claimed that his “heart was beating” and that he was unable to control his emotions.

“Yes, I was watching the auction, and KKR was all over me immediately away.” At the time, there were numerous other huge franchises coming in, and I recall a battle brewing. We (India) team members were all gathered in front of the television, watching the auction. My heart was pounding, and I couldn’t control my feelings. I was attempting to seem relaxed, but I was nervous, andar hi andar se. When KKR finally got me, the excitement was amazing. “I’m really delighted to be a part of the KKR organisation, especially given the franchise’s rich heritage,” he said.

Shreyas talked about why he wears the KKR jersey and what it means to him. He went on to state that his major objective would be to instil a winning attitude in the club and to strive to follow in the footsteps of the franchise’s previous great players Being a member of the KKR family is a great experience for me. I want to express my gratitude to all the great players that have come before me, and I want to follow in their footsteps as they have for KKR. “I consider myself a player’s captain,” he says, “and I want to create an environment where we’re all focused on the same goal: winning.” Shreyas was a part of the Delhi Capitals (DC) club last year and even led them in the 2019 and 2020 seasons of the competition before being replaced by Rishabh Pant due to an unlucky injury
