Mrunal, and Shreyas do not want attention so early in their relationship

It is a known fact that fans of Indian cricketers tend to get aggressive and intense when someone criticises or slams their favourite player. Both Iyer and Mrunal are slowly trying to create a place in their respective fields and hence do not want any negative PR or criticism to affect their career.

And that is one of the reasons why they are not hanging out publicly but mostly at gatherings of close friends or family members. If things work out well between the two in the coming months, they may start making public appearances and who knows, fans might get to see Mrunal Thakur in the stands when Shreyas Iyer is playing.
