As soon as he went off to the mark in the first innings of the PBKS vs MI IPL 2026 match tonight, the middle-order batter claimed the achievement. Iyer is now the second captain in Indian Premier League history to score 1000 runs for two different franchises.
Before Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul was the only cricketer who had achieved the record. As the captain of the Punjab Kings, Iyer now has the most runs.
Only KL Rahul is ahead of the PBKS captain
KL Rahul, who has captained both Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants in the franchise league, is at the top of the chart with 1296 runs from 27 matches and as many innings.
