'Will you marry me?'- Shreyas Iyer gets a marriage proposal from a Kolkata fan, image goes viral

Boasting of a huge fan base, Shreyas Iyer is one of the most popular Indian players in the modern-day game. He is currently captaining the Kolkata team in the ongoing Indian T20 League 2022 and has done a decent job so far.  Amidst all, he has received a marriage proposal from a Kolkata team fan.

The Kolkata team's official Twitter handle posted an image of a female fan holding a poster asking the skipper to marry him. "My mom has asked me to find a guy, so will you marry me, Shreyas Iyer?" she wrote. "That’s one way of shooting your shot!" Kolkata wrote as the caption.

The image immediately went viral across the internet. However, the fans dug up a bit, and found a photo of the same fan wearing the Mumbai team jersey.

Here are some tweets on the subject

Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer delivered one of the best innings for Kolkata against Rajasthan on Monday evening. However, despite a blazing 85-run knock, the skipper was unable to help his team win the game, as they suffered their fourth defeat of the tournament.

Iyer has been in amazing form and, so far, accumulated 236 runs in the current edition of the competition. He is the second-highest run-scorer in the Indian T20 League 2022. In seven games, Iyer has two fifties, with his 85 against Rajasthan being his best score of the season.

Kolkata, the previous edition's runner-up, has struggled to win games, lately, having suffered four defeats in seven games. The men in purple are due to play their next game against Gujarat on the 23rd of April. DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai will host the match.
