Venkatesh Iyer, a key player for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, has recently announced his engagement to Shruti Raghunathan. The cricketer joyfully shared pictures of their engagement ceremony on Instagram, capturing the couple’s radiant smiles.

While details about Shruti are limited due to her private Instagram account, reports suggest that she holds a B.com degree from PSG College of Arts and Science and a Master’s in Fashion Management from NIFT, Delhi. Currently, she works as a Merchandise Planner at Lifestyle International Private Limited in Bengaluru, Karnataka.

Venkatesh Iyer has established himself as a dependable force for KKR in the IPL, amassing 956 runs in 36 matches with an impressive strike rate of 130.25. His standout performance in 2023, scoring 404 runs in 14 games at a strike rate of 145.85, includes one century and two half-centuries. Expected to be retained by KKR for IPL 2024, his consistency and impactful play are notable.

While his international appearances have been limited, featuring in two ODIs and nine T20Is, the 28-year-old cricketer has showcased glimpses of his potential. Despite a brief stint standing in for the injured Hardik Pandya, his recent outing for India against Sri Lanka in February 2022 did not fully reflect his capabilities.

Venkatesh Iyer recently displayed good form in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Madhya Pradesh, accumulating 122 runs across five matches at an impressive average of 61. His consistent performances, including scores of 43, 29, and 35*, indicate his readiness for exciting contributions in the domestic circuit.

As Venkatesh Iyer embarks on this new chapter of his life, cricket fans extend their congratulations to the couple for their engagement.
