The Punjab Kings skipper opens up about his nickname and red-hot form this season.
Shreyas Iyer, the self-proclaimed 'Sarpanch' of the Punjab Kings, has had a season to remember. With 203 runs in just four innings, he’s averaging a jaw-dropping 67.67 and boasting a strike rate of 187.96. But don’t let those stats fool you; Iyer admits he feels a bit out of his depth with the nickname!
In a candid moment, he confessed, "I was clueless" about how he ended up with such a title. While some might find it amusing, it’s clear he’s embracing the pressure like a pro. The man is not just leading the charge but also setting the standard for consistency and aggression at the crease.
As the Punjab Kings aim for glory this season, Iyer’s dual role as captain and top-order batsman is proving crucial. Can he keep up this red-hot form and lead the Kings to the playoffs? This is one storyline you won't want to miss!
