Venkatesh Iyer said he had faced a lot of online hate from Kolkata Knight Riders supporters on social media after Shubman Gill's release, with fans often criticising him whenever Gill hit a ton; he revealed this ahead of the IPL 2026 auction.

He mentioned a previous approach to Shah Rukh Khan. After being released, Iyer joined Royal Challengers Bengaluru and noticed the strong fan connection there.
