Everything about Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer’s Fight Rumors

Venkatesh Iyer was yelled at by Shreyas Iyer, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain, during the IPL 2022 match against Rajasthan Royals (RR).

In the 16th over of the second innings, Venkatesh denied Shreyas a double, and a fight broke out. Despite being his team’s leading run-scorer, Shreyas was unable to lead KKR against RR.

With a magnificent 51-ball 85, Shreyas led all batters for Kolkata in scoring during the game. On the other hand, Venkatesh was limited in his abilities once KKR sent him out for a different job.

The team management assigned the all-rounder the finisher’s duty, but he could only manage a 7-ball 6 before being replaced by Yuzvendra Chahal.

With a 7-run victory, RR moved up to second place in the IPL 2022 standings, while KKR, with three wins and four defeats in 7 games, stayed in sixth place.

Shreyas Iyer yelled at Venkatesh Iyer in IPL 2022: Fight rumors explained

In the middle of the tight chase against RR in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match, KKR players Venkatesh and Shreyas had a furious exchange.

As the game veered toward a tight battle, Venkatesh denied Shreyas a double, causing the KKR captain to lose his temper. He rarely loses his cool during a game.

Venkatesh struck a ball toward the deep point area for a single on the penultimate ball of the 16th over of the second innings.

Shreyas considered it an excellent opportunity to take a double, and Venkatesh even first reacted favorably. However, the southpaw sent his captain back almost to the middle of the field.

Even though Shreyas returned in time to prevent being run out, he was not pleased with his partner’s running. 

As a result, a minor feud broke out between the two spectacular players. The Knight Riders captain immediately yelled at his colleague to inform him of his mistake.

Along with Venkatesh, Shreyas was spotted displeased with Brendon Mccullum as the KKR captain argued with the coach over something.

In a video posted by a cricket fan, Shreyas was seen in a video protesting at head coach McCullum when he was sitting in the dugout. 

The Mumbai native was speaking with the coach about some activity on the field while holding his bat and helmet in his hands. The KKR coach, though, remained silent at that time.

Are Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer related?

Some rumors are circulating that the Iyer duo is related in some way. However, it is just another case of the numerous false reports that have spread like wildfire in today’s internet age.

Venkatesh, born in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, has played for his homeland in domestic competitions. 

His outstanding achievements for his IPL team, KKR, allowed him to be included in the Indian Team for the current series against New Zealand.

On the other hand, Shreyas was born in Mumbai and played for Mumbai, the West Zone, and the Mumbai Cricket Association XI while growing up there before representing India.
