With the win, Punjab Kings have set up a summit clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru on June 3 as the tournament will get its new winner after 2022, when debutant Gujarat Titans lifted the title under the leadership of Hardik Pandya.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Iyer's knock was full of maturity and calmness as he built a crucial 84-run stand with Nehal Wadhera and kept the momentum going for PBKS despite losing wickets of Josh Inglis and Wadhera during the chase.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I'm obviously a huge fan. What happened in the game was out of this world, and Shreyas deserves full credit. Under extreme pressure, he delivered when it mattered,\u201d De Villiers said on JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"That four off Bumrah past the slip cordon \u2014 for me, that was the shot of the night. His sixes were clean, no mishits. He stays calm, doesn\u2019t get arrogant or overly emotional \u2014 just very level-headed. There are many more runs in him,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Former India head coach Sanjay Bangar also heaped praise on Iyer's match-winning knock saying it was a fabulous effort from the right-handed batter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"There's so much to appreciate about Shreyas Iyer\u2019s overall approach. The way he allows the batter at the other end to play their natural game is crucial \u2014 and that ability to build partnerships made the real difference. Some of the shots he played, especially against quality yorkers \u2014 guiding them past short third and point and even threading one through fine third man \u2014 were outstanding, especially with the game in the balance. It was a fabulous effort from Shreyas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
