Shreyas Iyer, India's top-middle-order batsman, has been a commanding run-scorer in T20 cricket. In the latest IPL 2025 match between PBKS and GT, he thrashed 97* off only 42 balls, but that is not his best score in T20 format.

Iyer, the newly minted captain of Punjab Kings, was bought for a humongous price of INR 26.75 crore during the IPL 2025 mega auction. In his debut game for the franchise, the batter slammed an impressive 97* off 42 balls.

His blistering knock helped PBKS post 243 runs total in the first inning. However, the 97-run knock is interestingly not Shreyas’ highest score in the T20 format.

Shreyas Iyer has been a prolific run-scorer in T20 cricket, consistently delivering match-winning performances across different leagues and formats. 

His top individual score in T20s is an unbeaten 147 vs Sikkim in Indore in 2019 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. This stunning knock was when he was playing for Mumbai.

The 147* remains not only his personal best but also one of the highest individual scores in India's domestic T20 circuit.

Shreyas Iyer led KKR to a title win in IPL 2024 season. However, due to some differences, he was released into the mega auction for the 2025 season where PBKS made him the second most expensive player with an INR 26.75 salary.
