Shreyas Iyer has scored 25 runs in 4 innings at an average of 6.25 at the New PCA Stadium in Chandigarh
Shreyas Iyer is having a stellar IPL season, both as a batter and as a captain. The Punjab Kings captain scored 514 runs at a strike rate of 172 in the league stage. His 31 sixes were bettered only by LSG's Nicholas Pooran (40 sixes) and Mitchell Marsh (37 sixes) and MI's Suryakumar Yadav (31 sixes). However, there is one minor glitch in Shreyas' performance, and he will be eager to fix the bug before Punjab Kings' Qualifier 1 game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the New PCA Stadium in Chandigarh tonight (May 29).
Shreyas Iyer in Chandigarh
Four innings, four boundaries (3 fours, 1 six), and a highest score of 10. Shreyas Iyer's performance at the New PCA Stadium in Chandigarh is clearly an anomaly. If one were to play the two truths and one lie game about the PBKS captain, most people would pick the above statement as the lie.
Shreyas Iyer's scores in Chandigarh, IPL 2025
| RR | April 5 | 10 (5) | Bowled | Jofra Archer |
| CSK | April 8 | 9 (7) | Bowled | Khaleel Ahmed |
| KKR | April 15 | 0 (2) | Caught at deep point | Harshit Rana |
| RCB | April 20 | 6 (10) | Caught at long on | Romario Shepherd |
One thing to be noted about the four low returns in Chandigarh is the absence of any clear pattern.
Dismissal against Rajasthan Royals
Shreyas scored four, dot, four, and two in the first four balls he faced off Jofra Archer and lost his stumps off the final ball of the over, attempting another attacking shot. However, there is no similarity between his dismissals against RR and CSK.
Shreyas' wicket will be the key for RCB as the rest of the Punjab Kings batters have very minimal experience of playing in the playoffs stage. Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, and Shashank Singh are making their first ever appearance in IPL playoffs, whereas Nehal Wadhera played 2 games in the playoffs for Mumbai Indians in 2023.
