    IPL 2025: Iyer’s Positivity Has Been Something Different, Never Seen PBKS Dominate So Much, Says Raina

    By IANS News May 16, 2025 • 20:24 PM View: 582
    Star Sports Press Room: Suresh Raina, the former India cricketer and four-time IPL winner, said Shreyas Iyer’s positive influence as a captain-cum-batter has been somewhat different, resulting in Punjab Kings (PBKS) dominating against other teams in a never-seen-before fashion in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

    Iyer, the IPL 2024 winning skipper 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.

    As a captain, and having Ricky Ponting in the dugout as their head coach, Iyer has been astute and proactive in his leadership, resulting in PBKS being on 15 points and being in third place in the points table. The side now needs two wins out of their three remaining games to seal a spot in the playoffs for the first time since the 2014 IPL.
