Shreyas Iyer scored an unbeaten 97 runs off 42 balls against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League 2025. The new captain of Punjab Kings was unstoppable at the Narendra Modi Stadium. His knock was laced with 9 sixes and 5 fours. He didn’t spare any bowler, including world-class spinner Rashid Khan.
He shared important partnerships with Priyansh Arya (47), Azmatullah Omarzai (16), Marcus Stoinis (20), and Shashank Singh (44 not out). For GT, Sai Kishore took three wickets. Punjab posted 243/5 in 20 overs.
PBKS bought Iyer for INR 26.75 crore, making him the second most expensive player in the history of the cash-rich league. Ricky Ponting, the new head coach of Punjab, played a key role in getting Iyer as he had worked with him for Delhi Capitals in the past.
