Recently Shreyas Iyer appeared on Netflix’s “The Great Indian Kapil Show,” along with Indian captain Rohit Sharma. In the show, host Kapil Sharma talked about how cameramen shift their focus to the female fans in the stadium. Listening to the statement, Iyer spoke about his debut season, where he waved to a female fan.

During my first year in in IPL, I noticed a very beautiful girl sitting in the stands and I waved hello to her. This happened many years ago. At that time Facebook was very popular. I was hoping to get a message and kept checking. That is the only incident that happened to me. Shreyas Iyer said

Iyer also spoke about how the Indian captain was his idol growing up. He claimed he grew up watching Sharma play and he wasn’t saying this to butter up his captain.
