The Punjab Kings have been an integral part of the Indian Premier League for over 18 seasons. Shreyas Iyer was named the skipper of the team, while Shashank Singh, one of the two retained players in the side, was named the vice-captain.
Punjab Kings made it to the finals of the competition in IPL 2025, after they finished at the top of the points table with 9 wins out of 14 matches they played in 2025. They shared a common 19 points with RCB by the end of the group stage, and took a lead based on the run rate.
"No, sir, you are absolutely right. It has been a very long time since it happened—18 years, to be precise. But last year, we learnt many things and rectified some of the mistakes, and this year we will make sure that people feel more proud and we celebrate together," he said.

Shashank was asked, "The way home ground is always discussed; they say in most matches, Punjab loses at home ground. What do you think about how much they have to learn from their home grounds?"

"Absolutely, sir, last year, as you said, our results on home grounds were not that good, but obviously this time we rectified many of our mistakes, especially as a batting unit, where we mostly struggled last time. We worked on the technical points, and you will see, this year we are going to perform better," the PBKS star replied.

"23 out of 25 players of ours are the same from last year, so there is a very good bonding; everyone is aware of their roles and the things that they did last year, which have to be repeated," he claimed.
"Ricky Sir and Shreyas (Iyer), where they live, their combination and their partnership is outstanding; they make sure that everyone stays in their comfort zone and I think the next 2-2.5 months will be a lifetime memory for us," he added.
