After leading Punjab Kings to victory against Mumbai Indians in the IPL Qualifier 2, captain Shreyas Iyer remained focused on the next task at hand – the grand final on Tuesday. Despite his outstanding performance in the previous match, Shreyas did not indulge in celebrations as he believed his job was only half done. He emphasized the importance of recovery and preparation for the upcoming final.
Reflecting on his unbeaten 87-run knock, Shreyas considered it his best T20 innings to date, given the pressure of the occasion. He credited the win to his team and expressed his joy in contributing to their success. Shreyas displayed his resilient character in bouncing back from a recent defeat to RCB, showcasing his ability to adapt to different situations and play till the end.
In preparation for the final, Punjab Kings will rely heavily on the experience of leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who has returned from a wrist injury. Shreyas praised Chahal’s skills and described him as a lethal bowler with a wealth of experience in big matches. The team’s journey in IPL 2025 has been consistent, with their success starting in Ahmedabad where they defeated Gujarat Titans. Ending the season with the trophy would be a dream come true for Shreyas and the team, who are eager and excited for the final showdown.
