Since he and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 championship, captain Shreyas Iyer has been the buzz of the town. But they cut him loose, and Punjab had the confidence and flexibility to pay INR 26.75 Cr to sign him in the IPL 2025 big auction because of his captaincy more than his batting.
At this point, Punjab has already won five of its eight games, suggesting that the choices are paying off. In addition to scoring two fifties as a batter, Iyer has demonstrated his ability as captain by protecting 111 with an offensive mentality that has never been seen before.
Sunil Joshi, the spin-bowling coach for PBKS, was full of praise for Shreyas Iyer,
the captain, before the team’s rematch with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), whom they had defended 111 against.
“He speaks to all of the players, including net bowlers. His concern for the squad and confidence are bolstered by that. Joshi stated during the pre-game press conference on Friday, April 25, in Kolkata, that it is a sign of a true leader.
Josh believes that Iyer is among the greatest players to lead the assault against one of the top spin-bowling attacks in the IPL. Eden Gardens, the site of the teams’ crucial match against KKR on Saturday, April 26, has been spin-friendly.
“Shreyas has improved his consistency, particularly when facing spin, if you consider his career contribution from the Champions Trophy forward. Every challenge and every ball is accepted by him. “That’s the mindset of a top player,” the former spinner for India stated.
