Feeling bad after selling a stock too early? Even Shah Rukh Khan let go of his ‘multibagger' Shreyas Iyer, quips fund manager
Gurmeet Chadha likened KKR's choice to retain Venkatesh Iyer over Shreyas Iyer to a poor investment decision. Shreyas, after leading KKR to an IPL title in 2024, was released and subsequently acquired by Punjab Kings. Now, he's captaining them in the IPL 2025 final, showcasing his leadership and batting prowess, leaving KKR fans regretting their team's decision. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads What netizens said In the world of cricket, as in investing, timing, vision, and faith in fundamentals often determine success or failure. Gurmeet Chadha , fund manager and CIO at Compcircle, drew a striking parallel between portfolio management and a major IPL decision that went wrong for one of India's most iconic joked that if you're ever feeling low about a bad investment, remember that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), owned by Shah Rukh Khan, chose to retain Venkatesh Iyer over Shreyas Iyer — a decision that now serves as a cautionary tale not just for team managers but also for anyone dealing with high-stakes decisions. Shreyas Iyer — the star KKR let go — is now on the brink of making history with Punjab Kings "If you ever feel low on a bad decision made in your portfolio…. Remember - SRK and KKR management retained Ventakesh Iyer instead of Shreyas Iyer," fund manager Gurmeet Chadha said in a Iyer, who led KKR to their IPL title win in 2024, was surprisingly not retained ahead of the IPL 2025 season. Instead, KKR spent a whopping Rs 23.75 crore to bring back all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer in the mega auction held in Jeddah last year. The move raised eyebrows across cricketing circles. Meanwhile, Shreyas was snapped up by Punjab Kings for Rs 26.75 crore and was named captain. Under his leadership, Punjab turned into a dominant force and are now set to contest the IPL 2025 final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).Punjab Kings, known historically for underachievement and inconsistency, have seen a stunning transformation this season. Shreyas has led from the front with his batting and captaincy. With 603 runs from 16 matches at an average of 54.81 and a strike rate of nearly 176, he's been a match-winner game after game. His latest performance — an unbeaten 87 off 41 balls in the second qualifier against Mumbai Indians — was a clutch innings that propelled Punjab into their first IPL final in over a decade. It was also a painful reminder to KKR fans of what they backlash on social media was fierce and immediate. Fans criticized the KKR management for releasing a proven match-winner and leader, especially after he delivered them a title the previous year. Responding to Gurmeet Chadha's tweet, netizens responded with scathing sarcasm, memes, and humorous financial analogies. Some compared KKR's decision to misallocating capital in a mutual fund, while others joked about "reinvestment gone wrong" and 'confusion in the Iyer name.' One popular sentiment was that Punjab Kings should hold on to Shreyas for life, lest they too repeat the mistakes of Zinta, the co-owner of Punjab Kings, has been a constant figure of support for throughout the tournament. Ahead of the final in Ahmedabad, she shared a heartfelt video montage on social media, highlighting the journey of the team, its standout players, and the contribution of coach Ricky Ponting. Zinta praised Shreyas for his leadership, calling him a "dynamic sarpanch," and emphasized how the team had gelled together to peak at the right time.

On the eve of the IPL 2025 Final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings, AB de Villiers has thrown his weight behind long-time friend and former teammate Virat Kohli. With RCB just one win away from a historic maiden IPL title, the South African legend, who spent over a decade with the franchise, delivered an emotional message urging Kohli to embrace the moment. In a video shared by Star Sports on X, de Villiers said, 'My message to Virat is to go out and enjoy and have fun out there. Put a smile on your face. I will be there watching you. Bring that (IPL) trophy home. Enjoy every minute of it.' The final, scheduled for Tuesday (June 3) at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, is a monumental occasion for both teams. While Punjab Kings booked their ticket to the summit clash with a thrilling five-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2, RCB, riding high on momentum and form, have beaten PBKS twice this season. Yet, as every seasoned campaigner knows, a final is its own beast. For Kohli, who has been in sublime form throughout the season, this presents a golden opportunity. With 614 runs from 14 matches, including eight half-centuries, the RCB stalwart has led the charge at the top and ignited hopes of ending the title drought. A win here would not only be a career-defining moment for him but also a long-awaited gift to the RCB faithful. To them, de Villiers had a separate note of encouragement: 'To the fans, just buckle up. It's going to be a great final. It's going to be one to remember, and just be sure that the boys will give their absolute best till the last ball.' Punjab Kings, meanwhile, arrive with confidence, powered by a dazzling 87 from captain Shreyas Iyer in their chase of 204 against MI. Nehal Wadhera (48), Josh Inglis, and Priyansh Arya all made vital contributions, with Inglis hammering 20 off Bumrah in a single over. Tuesday promises not just a new champion, but a night brimming with emotions and the possibility of Virat Kohli finally holding the IPL trophy that has eluded him for so long.
