Shreys Iyer – A father’s dream!

Mumbai has given Indian cricket some of its finest gems — Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Sachin Tendulkar and more recently Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane. There will soon be a name added to this elite list, when a certain Shreyas Iyer makes his debut for India.

Most of the people know Shreyas for his heroics for the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 8, where he emerged as the highest scorer for the bottom-of-the-table team and won the prestigious emerging player award in the year 2015. But Shreyas Iyer’s story is much more than that. A closer look at his life journey so far reveals that it has been his father’s dream!

It throws light on the painstaking effort taken by parents, coaches and most importantly Shreyas himself, to reach where he is today. Success at the Under-19 World Cup, the Mumbai call-up, the IPL landmark and now the next destination is going to be the India cap; which in all likelihood, is just a matter of time. This exclusive video gives you a rare opportunity to meet the star-in-the-making. Watch it here:
