The Indian Premier League is on its way for a massive revamp in the 15th edition. With the introduction of the two new teams, all of the existing franchises have announced their intentions to stay. While some retentions and releases were obvious, others raised many eyebrows. Shreyas Iyer was one of them.

The ex-captain of Delhi Capitals was instrumental in their path to redemption. Unfortunately, he was injured and was ruled out of the IPL 2021 first leg. In Iyer&#8217;s absence, the Delhi franchise handed over the reins to Rishabh Pant, who looked impressive. Even after he returned, the franchise opted to continue with Pant as their captain.

Iyer is a proficient middle-order batsman who has excelled in both the domestic and international arenas. He was regarded as a backbone of the Delhi franchise. He scored 2375 runs at a strike-rate of 124.0 with the highest score of 96. Now that he&#8217;s been released, numerous teams must be battling for his services.

In the article, let&#8217;s take a look at five probable teams that can pick Shreyas Iyer in the mega auction:

<img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-561614 size-full" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Shreyas-Iyer-1.jpg" alt="Shreyas Iyer" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-561614" class="wp-caption-text">Shreyas Iyer. (Photo Source: Twitter/IPL)</figcaption>

In the mega auction, the brand new franchise will be desperate to secure Iyer&#8217;s services. Given the scarcity of middle-order batting alternatives in India, the right-handed batsman is projected to command a high price in the auction.

He is also a seasoned captain who has previously worked under Ricky Ponting. As a result, his expertise and contributions will be extremely valuable for a franchise that is only laying its foundation.

In the middle order, the right-handed hitter will be an exceedingly important asset. He bats at 3/4 and has the ability to manage the innings throughout the game. He is a superb player of spin and can hammer the spinners at any time during the game.

The powerful Mumbai batsman has vast IPL captaincy experience as well. During his tenure, he led the Delhi Capitals to two consecutive playoff berths. In fact, he scored 400+ runs throughout his tenure as Delhi&#8217;s captain.

This demonstrates that he does not fold under stress and is capable of standing up for the team in difficult situations. Ahmedabad will be starting from zero, and thus the franchise will be looking to acquire Iyer to prepare the foundation of the team.

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Lucknow is another franchise interested in the flamboyant batter ahead of the mega auction. Because of Iyer&#8217;s multifaceted qualities, the Sanjeev Goenka-owned business will be delighted to obtain his services. Iyer is recognised as a tactically astute player. His tactical acumen will be critical in laying the foundations for a new franchise like Lucknow.

The ground in Lucknow is ideal for the right-handed batter. He will be able to easily milk singles and doubles and will be able to control the innings for the team. If he gets set in the crease, he can play the role of the accelerator in the death.

Furthermore, he has the potential to become the franchise&#8217;s future face. As the franchise begins its journey, a young and skilled player like Iyer has the potential to elevate its brand. Overall, acquiring the batter&#8217;s services will provide the franchise with significant commercial value.

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The five-time IPL champions will look to include Shreyas Iyer in their team. With players like Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Kieron Pollard, and Jasprit Bumrah in the team, the ex-captain of Delhi can control their middle order and make the batting line-up appear menacing.

There have been speculations on social media that the Mumbai Indians are interested in acquiring Iyer in the big auctions. Iyer is from Mumbai, and his presence will lend more local fervour to the business, which will be beneficial to its growth. Iyer might also become a future captaincy candidate for the Mumbai team, given Rohit Sharma is almost 35 and has only 3-4 years left in his career.

The Mumbai born batter can be the most-sought after player in the auction and so, Mumbai needs a lot of planning to buy him for their team. His batting value will be unparalleled because of his spin hitting ability. He can ably complement Suryakumar Yadav and other power hitters in the team. Moreover, he is an exceptional fielder who can change the course of the match with his brilliant fielding skills.

4. Royal Challengers Bangalore

<img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-565226 size-full" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Royal-Challengers-Bangalore.jpg" alt="Royal Challengers Bangalore" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-565226" class="wp-caption-text">Royal Challengers Bangalore. (Photo Source: Twitter/Indian Premier League)</figcaption>

The Bangalore-based franchise is currently without a captain because Virat Kohli decided to relinquish captaincy ahead of the second leg of IPL 2021. Furthermore, their star hitter, AB de Villiers, retired from all forms of cricket. They released Yuzvendra Chahal, leaving only one captaincy prospect, Glenn Maxwell, who does not inspire much confidence.

As a result, they will be in a dire situation to find a captain in the major auction. Because of his expertise and skill set, Iyer is an ideal contender to lead the RCB. The Challengers have traditionally struggled to accelerate in the middle overs. To address that problem, they purchased Maxwell in the mega auction.

Maxwell looked impressive, but he requires assistance from the other end. Iyer&#8217;s ability to bash great spinners at any stage of the game could be beneficial to the Bengaluru-based team. Moreover, the 27-year-old will relish batting at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium due to it&#8217;s short boundaries.

Moreover, his tactical acumen will be the need of the hour for the Bangalore team. He can make accurate bowling changes depending on the situation of the game and set tight and efficient fields. Bangalore would be keen to have him on board due to his experience and the tactical ability he brings to the table.

<img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-566858 size-full" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Punjab-Kings-2.jpg" alt="Punjab Kings" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-566858" class="wp-caption-text">Punjab Kings. (Photo Source: Twitter/Indian Premier League)</figcaption>

Punjab Kings is one franchise that must be scratching its mind as the mega auction approaches. They will go for a comprehensive overhaul with the highest bid in auctions. KL Rahul, their star player, has been released for the auction. They will be in a desperate need to find a captain just like RCB.

Though they have a strong challenger for leadership in Mayank Agarwal, they would prefer someone with experience. Iyer could be a great fit for them. Also, their perennial middle-order issue can be solved by Iyer. They require an experienced campaigner to keep their fragile middle order together.

Punjab Kings have a lot of work to do, and they need an immaculate Indian player to do it. Historically, the team lacked a large pool of talented Indian players. They were primarily reliant on overseas recruits. To win the IPL, they must invest in talented Indian players who can lead the team to success.

Iyer was a backbone of the Delhi Capitals and also led them midway from the 2018 edition.

IPL 2022: 5 teams that can pick Shreyas Iyer in the mega auction

While some retentions and releases were obvious, others raised many eyebrows. Shreyas Iyer was one of them. The ex-captain of Delhi Capitals
