Venkatesh Iyer is occupied with his cricket game, but Shruti has a B.Com. from PSG College of Arts and Science and a Master’s degree in Fashion Management from NIFT, India. She is presently employed as a merchandise planner by Lifestyle International Private Limited in Bengaluru.
Following a brilliant IPL season in which he was instrumental in KKR’s third IPL title victory, Iyer has been enjoying himself greatly. In the championship match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the 29-year-old struck four boundaries and three enormous sixes in an incredible 52, not out off just 26 balls. Under Shreyas Iyer’s leadership, his valour helped KKR to an unforgettable triumph.
