Kolkata Knight Riders:

New Delhi, May 18 (IANs) Former Australia skipper Aaron Finch has praised Shreyas Iyer's leadership and performance since moving to Punjab Kings, calling him a terrific young leader for carrying leadership success from one franchise to a completely different setup.

Iyer, the IPL 2024 winning captain for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), was acquired by PBKS in last year’s mega auction for a whopping Rs 26.75 crore. So far, PBKS’ move to break their bank for Iyer has paid off – the right-handed batter has amassed 405 runs in 11 games at an average of 50.63, including hitting four fifties.
