Probably the name which was unknown to the majority of the people before the second phase of the IPL 2021 is Madhya Pradesh’s, Venkatesh Iyer. His growth has been unbelievable as he now plays for the Indian team after just proving his abilities in ten matches.

When the Kolkata Knight Riders side struggled to find the winning ways in the first phase of the IPL, the ultimate change which transformed the fortune of the team and the player was to make him represent the first eleven.  This 28-year-old all-rounder was magnificent with his opening batting as he hit 370 runs with a strike rate of 128.47.

He displayed fearless batting at the top order and set the momentum of the team high. He also took three wickets with an economy of 8.11. Iyer also went on to represent the Indian limited-overs side. He was retained by KKR ahead of the auction and it will be nice to see this player in flow again.
