After the IPL 2025 has been wrapped up, domestic T20 thrills are coming back. After a successful inaugural edition of the Madhya Pradesh League, the tournament is coming back with another exciting season.

With T20 fever returning to Madhya Pradesh, KKR star Venkatesh Iyer is ready for a new challenge. In the upcoming edition, he is set to lead the Indore Pink Panthers.

Iyer Dons The Captain’s Hat For Indore Pink Panthers

In 2024, the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association introduced the Madhya Pradesh League, and the tournament is coming back with yet another thrilling season. Starting from June 12, fans are set to enjoy some unmissable T20 thrills. Adding to the excitement, Venkatesh Iyer steps into a new role ahead of this edition.

With the tournament just around the corner, KKR’s dynamic all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer is ready to turn the page. Joining the Indore Pink Panthers in the upcoming edition, he is set to start a new chapter.

Adding to this, he’ll take on a fresh challenge as the franchise hands him the captain’s armband. A new beginning is waiting for the star all-rounder. While playing for the Gwalior Cheetahs in the previous season, he scored 480 runs in 8 innings, with an average of 58.57.

A Resilient Return On The Horizon

The stylish left-handed batter, known for his attacking batting style, Venkatesh Iyer, struggled with his questionable form. Despite being one of the biggest buys of the season, the KKR star only managed to score 142 runs in 7 innings with a poor average of 20.3. His only half-century of the season came against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

After those poor performances, he faced harsh criticism over his form. Despite being a key figure in KKR’s IPL 2024 triumph, he couldn’t replicate that success in the latest season. With a fresh T20 league just around the corner, it’s the perfect stage for Iyer’s big comeback.
