Icy-cold, brutal: Shreyas showcases shades of prime Virat in Ahmedabad, a look at his knockout stats
Over the year, despite some occasional failures, the 30-year-old has delivered several notable contributions in white-ball knockout matches. His remarkable calm, reassuring presence at the crease, ability to take down the ball irrespective of the name throwing it at him has transformed into an exciting leadership prospect for the future.
Shreyas Iyer mentioned focusing on his breathing during his outing against the Mumbai Indians (MI) on Monday in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) and highlighted the need for assertive intent from all players when chasing a high target.
World Champion Dommaraju Gukesh pulled off a stunning victory against former World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen in Round 6 of the ongoing Norway Chess 2025 tournament, turning the game around from a losing position on Sunday.
Chasing a challenging total of 204 against the five-time champions, Iyer remained the fulcrum of the innings, showing poise and power in equal measure but equally important was the contribution from Nehal Wadhera, who played a vital hand in the middle overs with a composed 48 off 29 deliveries, striking four boundaries and two sixes, and more importantly, forming a match-defining 84-run stand with his skipper.
Pandya acknowledged that the decision-making during the crucial overs could have been better, specifically mentioning Jasprit Bumrah's under-utilisation at a key moment.
Joe Root etched his name further into England's cricketing history books as he became the country's leading run-scorer in One Day Internationals, surpassing former captain Eoin Morgan's tally. Root now holds the record for most runs in both Tests and ODIs for England.
Shreyas Iyer rose to the occasion with a captain's knock that will be etched in Punjab Kings' (PBKS) history, as his unbeaten 87 off 41 deliveries powered the franchise into their second Indian Premier League (IPL) final, and first in eleven years, with a five-wicket win over the five time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in the second qualifier in Ahmedabad on Monday.
