Earlier during IPL, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh had lavished praise on Iyer after he smashed his maiden century against Mumbai Indians.
"Venkatesh Iyer is a special player and proved that with his maiden IPL century. Batters like David Warner and KL Rahul should learn a couple of things from his innings," he said.
"Iyer didn't just strengthen his team after the fall of an early wicket but also scored runs with a strike rate of more than 200."
