What This Record Tells Us
Two patterns stand out. First, Iyer loves playing Sunrisers Hyderabad. Twenty innings, 638 runs, five fifties and an average above 42 make it his most productive matchup by a clear margin. Second, Royal Challengers Bengaluru are his toughest opponent: 18 innings have brought only 378 runs at 22.24, his lowest average against any current team.
The newer franchises have seen the best of him. His average of 82.50 against Delhi Capitals, 64.00 against Lucknow Super Giants and the 97 not out against Gujarat Titans all came from 2022 onward, when he batted as an experienced finisher with more not outs to his name. His 110 runs against Gujarat Lions include the 96 that remains his best score in a losing cause from the early Delhi years.
The table also mirrors his unusual career path. He has scored runs against all three franchises he has played for: Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders (whom he led to the 2024 title) and Punjab Kings (whom he led to the 2025 final).
