Shreyas Iyer, who is currently leading the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), recently got candid about an incident where got emotional and cried.
In a candid chat with internet persona Sahiba Bali, Iyer opened up about the last time he cried, which incidentally happened prior to India’s title-winning run in the Champions Trophy 2025.
In a video posted by PBKS on their YouTube channel, Iyer said,
“The last time I cried was during the Champions Trophy first practice session, like literally crying, crying. Why? Because I batted in the nets, and my batting wasn’t good, so I got so angry at myself that I started crying. And I was also shocked that I don’t cry so easily. So that means it shows how much passion you have, and how well you want yourself to do.”
Notably, Iyer was one of the top performers in the ICC event, finishing as the top run-scorer for Indian and the second-highest overall.
