The public has been captivated by IPL 2025. The league has been unique this season, from high-stakes games to Virat Kohli’s squad, RCB’s incredible success, and their presence in the championship game. Preity Zinta’s squad, PBKS, advanced to the final to play RCB after defeating MI in qualifier 2 on June 1, 2025. Virat Kohli’s IPL squad has advanced to the final round after eight long years, which has increased enthusiasm among IPL and cricket fans.
Shreyas Iyer and Preity Zinta’s team, PBKS is all set to fight Virat Kohli’s team, RCB, in the IPL final
Given his cricketing prowess, the captain’s name has been trending constantly amid all the excitement. It’s Shreyas Iyer, of course. People have been wondering if Shreyas can do the same for Preity Zinta since he brought the trophy to Shah Rukh Khan’s dream team, KKR, back in 2024. In 2025, the cricketer was named captain of the Punjab Kings. Since Shreays was the lucky charm for “Veer,” people have been wondering if he may also be the charm for “Zara.” Before the conclusion, let’s have a look at Shreyas’ dating buzz over the years. It should be noted that his captaincy and cricketing prowess truly captured hearts.
Shreyas Iyer was bought for Rs. 26.75 crore by Preity Zinta’s team, PBKS
Santosh Iyer and Rohini Iyer welcomed Shreyas Iyer into the world in 1994 at Chembur, Bombay. The cricket player participated in the 2014 Under 19 Cricket World Cup after graduating from Podar College. He played his first test match against New Zealand in 2021. When Shreyas won the ICC Men’s Player of the Month trophy in the 2025 Champions Trophy, his performance struck everyone in disbelief. For those who are unaware, Preity Zinta’s Punjab club purchased him for Rs. 26.75 crore in preparation for the 2025 Indian Premier League. He has demonstrated why he was selected, and while everyone is eager to watch him in the championship game, they are also researching this young cricket player.
The dating rumours of Shreyas Iyer: When he was made fun of and harassed because he was linked to Dhanashree Verma, the ex-wife of Yuzvendra Chahal:
Over the years, Shreyas Iyer attracted a lot of attention since he was mistakenly associated with his peer, Dhanashree Verma, the ex-wife of Yuzvendra Chahal. As people discovered Shreyas and Dhanashree’s identical Instagram tales, the excitement began to draw more followers. Later on, Dhanashree and Iyer released a dance video, and several of their joint images became viral as well. These all suggested that there might be a relationship between Iyer and Dhanashree.
After Dhanashree was later connected to someone else while performing in the show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, the dancer took to social media to criticise the rumours that were circulating about her, saying that it had hurt not just her but also her family. Following this, the buzz and pointless material about Shreyas and Dhanashree ceased being circulated.
This intensified again in January when a distorted image of Verma and Iyer on a video conversation surfaced during a period when the dancer’s divorce from her cricketer ex-husband, Yuzi, was making headlines. Later, even though Dhanashree and Shreyas didn’t discuss it directly, multiple sources made it clear that, given the dancer’s closeness with the cricketer’s sister, Shrestha, who is also a professional dancer, there was nothing between Shreyas and Dhanashree other than friendship.
Shreyas Iyer’s dating buzz with the mystery girl, Trisha Kulkarni
During Team India’s Diwali party in 2023, Shreyas Iyer was seen with an unidentified girl. The picture went viral at the time, and people were intrigued by the mystery girl because of the way the two were dressed alike. The girl’s name was later revealed to be Trisha Kulkarni, and it was discovered that she had a private Instagram profile that both Shreyas and his sister follow, suggesting a possible personal connection.
Trisha has also been seen a few occasions in the stands, where she was seen cheering for Shreyas. Since she leads a quiet life and has refrained from making public remarks, people are more interested in learning if she is Iyer’s true love interest.
Shreyas Iyer was also falsely linked with an Afganisthani girl, who is his fan
Additionally, Shreyas Iyer avoided discussing his personal life in public. Wazhma Ayoubi, an Afghanisthani girl, was connected to him. Following Iyer’s victory in the 2024 Indian Premier League, the girl—who is an entrepreneur and apparently aspires to be a Bollywood actress—shared a picture of herself with Iyer, and shortly after, people began to associate the two.
It’s important to note that it was merely a fad and that Wazhma was endorsing Iyer, but Shreyas’ name became associated with her due to the social media frenzy around celebrities’ private life.
People never stopped discussing Shreyas’s dating life, even though he never confirmed any of these rumours!
