This makes the Mumbai right-hander, the first Indian player to lead three different IPL franchises, including his previous captaincy stint at the Delhi Capitals.

Iyer, who became the second-most expensive buy after being bought by the Punjab Kings for a whopping Rs 26.75 crore at the IPL mega auction in November, also remains the only captain in IPL history to lead two different franchises to the tournament's final. Besides leading KKR, he also led the Delhi Capitals to the IPL final in the 2020 edition.
