On Saturday, November 23, the 17th edition of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy got underway, with 38 teams competing in the prestigious T20 event. Meanwhile, Mumbai took on Goa at the Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad.
Mumbai skipper Shreyas Iyer is leading by example as the former KKR skipper smashed a beautiful hundred on the eve of the IPL 2025 mega-auction. Notably, Iyer smashed a 47-ball hundred that featured nine fours and seven sixes.
Iyer Auditions For IPL 2025 Mega-Auction
It is worth noting that Iyer's knock has come at a very crucial time as BCCI will hold the IPL 2025 mega-auction on November 24 in Jeddah, and Iyer too would go under the hammer.
It is worth noting that Iyer led KKR to their third IPL title in 2024 but was released by the Knight Riders as reports suggested that the two parties couldn't agree on the wages part. It is also mentioned that Shreyas wanted to test his worth in the auction.
Now, this knock would definitely catch the attention of other franchises, and Iyer could potentially break the bank at the auction table. It is worth noting that Shreyas is currently out of the scheme of things for India and was also left out of the central contract.

Iyer Registers Sixth Highest Individual Score In SMAT History
Nonetheless, this knock is also a reminder to the selectors that he is also performing in red-ball cricket.
Talking about the match, Mumbai, batting first, put 250 runs on the board, and Iyer scored 130. It is the 6th highest individual score in SMAT history. Iyer earlier held the record for the highest individual score in SMAT, but Tilak Varma broke that record on November 23 with a blistering knock of 151.
