Shreyas Iyer: Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, have defeated Chennai Super Kings by 4 wickets to win the 49th match of IPL 2025. In this match at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium, MS Dhoni & Co. batted first and set a target of 191 runs. In response, Punjab achieved the target set in 19.4 overs. After this victory, captain Shreyas Iyer’s response has come to light. So let’s know what PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer said after the victory….
After defeating Chennai Super Kings in his house, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer said in the post match presentation that, ‘I like to chase on any ground and I think when there is a big total on the board, I flourish and you need to take speed and make speed for the next batsmen. Try to play on your tendency and support yourself. (On my distant form) I do not want to curse it at this time, I am enjoying it as much as possible, trying to live in the present and reacting only on the ball. Once I come to know that there is a big total, it does not matter at home or outside, I keep the same approach, sometimes it works, sometimes not. ‘
Putting on my point, Shreyas Iyer said, I know if I stay there, I can follow any goal. Recently, I am batting a lot in the nets and facing fast bowlers with the new ball, I know that the ball will be skid and will come at a very fast pace. This has given me a lot of confidence. This is a part of which I really worked.
Whenever I get into the field, I always keep my attitude elevated. I tick these four boxes and you can see its effect on the field. More than batting (about moisture), fielding was difficult because I was running from long-on-on-on. We also had to maintain over-rate and I had to think at the right time.
Shreyas Iyer revealed the team’s strategy, advancing the talk and said that he had received special advice from Ricky Ponting during the match. The captain said, ‘We interacted in the middle, when Ricky came and said that we do not have to leave it till the last, we have to increase our pace because they have some great death bowlers like Pathirana, Khalil and have a lot of experience, their attitude is to face bowlers and originally trust themselves.’
