Considering the recent reports from other sources, Aakash Chopra has revealed a lot of things while speaking on his YouTube channel where he said, "Shreyas Iyer could be a potential captain of KKR or RCB. I don't think Punjab would be looking at him," was quoted by TimesNowNews.

"Someone told me that RCB has kept 20cr for Shreyas Iyer in IPL 2022 Mega Auction," he added. "The most expensive player, to be very honest, is going to be Shreyas Iyer.

In this list, the most expensive will be Iyer because Ishan Kishan is not there. If Ishan was there, there could've been a tug of war. Now, they will reserve money for Ishan and money will be splashed out for Iyer," said Aakash Chopra.

However, the right-handed batsman has good captaincy records and has led Delhi Capitals till the finals against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2020. So, it will be interesting to see which team will rope the talented cricketers for the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League.
