IPL history: 5 players who played for India in T20I after impressing for Delhi Capitals

#2 Shreyas Iyer

No one can deny the fact that it was Delhi Capitals who unearthed the talent in Shreyas Iyer

T20I debut - November 2017

Performance in IPL 2017 - 338 runs, Highest Score - 96

The right-handed batsman, Shreyas Iyer first played for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2015 and impressed everyone with his performances at the top of the order. He scored 439 runs that season at an average of 33.76. His 83-runs knock against Mumbai Indians led to the fans and critics showering a lot of praise on Iyer.

However, the next season he failed to get going as Iyer managed to score a meager 30 runs in the entire season. The Delhi franchise maintained their trust on Shreyas in spite of his poor performances. In the next season, Iyer starred for the franchise once again with a tally of 338 runs from just 12 matches. This led to Iyer receiving his maiden T20I cap in November 2017.
