Shreyas’ golden chance at IPL immortality

For Shreyas, IPL 2025 has already been a career-defining season, and yet, a final chapter remains to be written. Leading Punjab for the first time, Iyer has brought calm, strategy, and supreme form to a side that has historically struggled with leadership stability. His performance with the bat has been nothing short of extraordinary, 603 runs in 16 matches at an explosive strike rate of 175.80 and a remarkable average of 54.82.

With six fifties to his name this season, Iyer has not just anchored innings but led fearless counterattacks in high-pressure games. Already a title-winner with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2024, he now stands on the brink of history, poised to become the first captain ever to win IPL trophies with two different franchises. It’s a feat that would elevate him to a legendary status in the tournament’s lore, showcasing him not just as a prolific batter, but as a transformative leader capable of inspiring and delivering in the most demanding circumstances.
