Suresh Raina, the former cricket player in India and quadruple winner of the IPL, said that the positive influence of Shreyas Iyer as Captain-Coup was somewhat different, which resulted in kings of Punjab (PBK acquired by PBKS during the mega sales of last year for a huge RS 26.75. PBKS to break his bank to Iyer borne fruit – the right -handed striker has raised 405 points in 11 games with an average of 50.63, in particular by hitting four fifty.
As captain, and having Ricky Ponting in the canoe as head coach, Iyer was clever and proactive in his leadership, which made PBKS on 15 points and being third in the point table. The team now needs two victories on their three remaining games to seal a place in the playoffs for the first time since the 2014 IPL.
“I think their two best players, Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya, laid the foundations for Punjab. After that, everything is important in the way Shreyas Iyer struck well, and the team captain,” Raina told Ians in the show of the Sports Star room, following the race for theater games with IPL 2025 Now of the Riselines.
“I am sure that Ricky Ponting creates this environment, but if you look at their servants, Arshdeep (Singh), (Yuzvendra) Chahal, Priyansh, Prabhsimran, and the way they fight in the middle, especially the way Shashank Singh has played, they play really differently. So, seven players play together, and that all are played for India. He is therefore playing together.
“In addition, the last three years of Shreyas Iyer – the quality of his strike is obvious if you look at (his performances in) the trophy of the World Cup and the champions of the ODI. The positivity of him is something different, because I have never seen the Punjab team dominate in the iPl. When Viru Bhai (Virender Sehwag) was the captain, he played in a different way, qualification in the 2014 qualifications. “
“But Shreyas Iyer takes quality in the locker room. He brings positivity and the desire to win. So I think Ricky Ponting and Shreyas Iyer have improved a lot (the team), and they play another cricket brand – Punjab Express,” said Raina, Raina, and they play another cricket brand – Punjab Express, “said Raina, Raina, Another cricket brand – Punjab Express, “, Raina)
The case of Iyer was very interesting – he capitalized KKR in title IPL last year, and now he has the chance to win him again, but this time for PBKS. The legendary paste at Sunil Gavaskar India told Ians that he hoped that the leadership skills of Iyer help the PBKs to win the elusive trophy when the IPL 2025 final takes place on June 3.
“This (the big PBKS race) in fact tells you the importance of the captain because watching, the coach is there and he comes to strategic attention – the coach and the support staff. But at the end of the day, the decision in a fraction of a second must be taken by the captain, and for that, I think you have to give a credit to Shreyas Iyer for the way he was in a difficult situation.
“But he brought them out of a difficult situation to win, and I think he is doing exactly the same thing here. They had a little Malchala, if you can call him so, because they started very well in the game in Dharamshala (which was then canceled).
“Again, at the Eden’s gardens, they had marked around 206 or 207 – most often a winning score, but the game fled. So yes, they were a little chance of not going in their direction. They hope that this time,” said Raina.
Catch Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders resume their race at the play-offs at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, when IPL 2025 returns live and exclusively on Jiohotstar and Star Sports Network.
