Shreyas Iyer led Kolkata Knight Riders to the title win in IPL 2024. However, he decided to go into the mega auction instead of being retained by KKR and was ultimately signed by Punjab Kings for a whopping amount of INR 26.75 crore.
While doing the commentary during the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, Sunil Gavaskar gave a scathing remark that Shreyas Iyer wasn't given enough credit for KKR's win in 2024 despite his excellent captaincy record.
Iyer played a key role in KKR's win last year, both as a batter and as a captain. The right-hander played a no. of match-winning knocks in the middle order and was also impressive with his leadership skills.
Shreyas Iyer is in excellent form
Shreyas Iyer was signed by Punjab Kings in the mega auction and was appointed the team's captain as well. Punjab is one of the few teams left that are yet to win the trophy, as they have high expectations from Iyer this time around.
Iyer struck 5 fours and 9 sixes during his knock while batting at No. 3. The right-hander didn't stop here and smashed another half-century in the next game. He scored 52 off just 30 balls with 3 fours and 4 sixes.
Punjab Kings are in great form
Punjab Kings look in great form as they have registered victories in both the games they have played so far. They transformed their team and the coaching staff ahead of this season, and the move seems to be working for them so far. Currently, they are at the second spot in the points table.
Apart from Iyer, young batters like Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, and Nehal Wadhera have shown great promise as well. With the ball, Arshdeep Singh has looked menacing while Lockie Ferguson has added a new dimension to this attack.
