Contract with Kolkata Knight Riders
Shreyas Iyer made his IPL debut in 2015 with Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals). The Delhi franchise initially paid him an annual salary of Rs 2.6 crore for the first three years. In 2018, the Delhi team management upgraded his contract to Rs 7 crore, but they released Shreyas Iyer in the IPL 2022 auction. Kolkata Knight Riders then spent Rs 12.5 crore to acquire his services, and since then he has become an integral part of the Kolkata franchise.
