The poor form of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and their skipper, Shreyas Iyer, is going parallel. They are facing the Royal Challengers Bengaluru today after securing 5 defeats in a row.
In this match, when PBKS needed their skipper the most, he dismissed cheaply again. Iyer, who was in good form in the early stage of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL), went off guard today, scoring only 1 run off 3 balls.
RCB’s uncapped Indian bowler Rasikh Salam took his scalp in the second ball of the fourth over of the second innings. Behind the stump, Jitesh Sharma takes an easy catch.
Batting first, RCB posted 222 runs in 20 overs, in exchange for 4 wickets only. In the first innings, the track of the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala looked suitable for the batters. But, from the beginning of the second innings, the home team, PBKS, has been losing wickets.
Shreyas Iyer’s in the last 6 innings:
Vs RCB: 1
Vs Mumbai Indians; 4
Vs Delhi Capitals: 59*
Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: 5
Vs Gujarat Titans: 19
Vs Rajasthan Royals: 30
Iyer's 100th match as captain in IPL
It is worth noting that it is Shreyas Iyer's 100th match as a captain in the Indian Premier League. The current skipper of the Punjab Kings, who captained the Delhi Capitals and the Kolkata Knight Riders, has touched the milestone. Along with the greats like MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Iyer has recorded one of the best win percentages in the league.
