Following Iyer’s dismissal, only Shashank Singh (61* off 30 balls) fought till the end for Punjab, but they eventually fell seven runs short of their target of 191 runs in the IPL 2025 final against RCB.
'No one is bigger than cricket'
The former Indian player reminded everyone that there were only two great finishers—MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh—so how had Iyer taken that risk when the team didn’t have reliable finishers in the team? He said that Iyer failed when it mattered the most.

I’m very angry with Shreyas Iyer: Yograj Singh
Yograj signed off by saying, “So, tell me, Shreyas took Punjab to the final, but what did he do in the final? He played a reckless risk at the wrong time and cost his team the title. For me, the only criminal behind Punjab's defeat in the final is their captain. And honestly, I’m very angry with him.”
