Venkatesh Iyer is one of the top cricketers in India right now. The rising star came into the spotlight last year while playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. His fantastic batting performances and impressive bowling helped him earn a place in the Indian team after the T20 World Cup 2021 ended.
While Iyer could not impress much, the Madhya Pradesh-based star has a bright future ahead. The Kolkata Knight Riders retained him ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, and he is currently playing for the Kolkata-based franchise in the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League.
So far, Iyer’s performances in IPL 2022 have not been up to the mark, but fans expect him to bounce back stronger in IPL 2022. The all-rounder is in the headlines this time for his recent social media activity. Recently, famous actress Priyanka Jawalkar posted a photo of herself on her Instagram account.
Venkatesh Iyer praised that photo and wrote: “Cute” to which the actress replied: “Who? You?” An Instagram user captured a screenshot of their chat which you can see below:

Former Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra recently gave his opinion on the batting performances from Iyer in IPL 2022. Here’s what Aakash Chopra said on his official YouTube channel after the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore:
“The way KKR batted, it left all of us a little befuddled because they were expected to bat better than that. Venkatesh Iyer just did not look the part. There have been two innings now and he has not looked the same player.”
