Indian middle order batsman and former capital of the Delhi Capitals, Shreyas Iyer, will be entering the mega-auction. If reports are to be believed then Iyer failed to reach an agreement with the two new franchises in the Indian Premier League over a captaincy position and now will be entering the mega auction to try his luck.
It has long been reported that the Sanjeev Goenka owned Lucknow franchise have agreed terms with KL Rahul, while the Ahmedabad based team will likely pick up Hardik Pandya as their captaincy candidate.
There are several IPL teams that are in need of a captaincy candidate at the moment with the top two being - Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Punjab Kings would likely be in the fray as well, given they have not yet announced Mayank Agarwal as their captain yet.
Iyer could potentially go for big money in auction with several teams in the tournament needing to add Indian middle order players.
