Shreyas Iitel underestimated on KKR: Robin Uthappa praises the leader of PBKS

Pandjab Kings secured its place in qualifying 1 playoffs IPL 2025 after a commanding seven-bridge victory over the Indians Mumbai 26. The result confirmed their two best goal, with Captain Shreyas Iyer again playing a key role with a bat and his captain.

Former Indian cricket Robin Uthappa praised Iyer’s performance this season and showed his standout leading as an defining factor in the revival of PBKS that got another feathers on their cap with their dominant victory over Mi. When he spoke of Jiohotstar, Uthappa noted that Iyer had long been demonstrating the leadership of the pedigree, even during his time in Kalkata Knight Riders, where he led them to the title IPL in 2024, but in his opinion he never received proper recognition.

PBKS VS Mi: Veliky | Scorecard

“Shreyas has always been an exceptional captain. You always felt that he felt underestimated on the KKR, even though he added value there. He moved to the franchise where he was not very achieved historically – and then won a lot for them.

After this triumph, the KKR surprisingly released Iyer before the 2025 mega auction. PBKS moved quickly to secure a 30 -year -old man for stunning CRS RS 26,75, a move that now looks more than justified. Iyer delivered not only with a bat – he ranked with 26 out of 16 in the persecution against Mi – but also made critical bowling changes throughout the season and often had games with his tactical consciousness.

The head coach PBKS Ricky Ponting gave up sentiment Uthappy and praised Iyer’s impact from entering the franchise. Ponting emphasized how the captain consistently encouraged the tab unit to increase its game, and instill in the faith into the group that underwent almost completed overhaul during the 2025 auction.

“I know him as a man and as a player for a long time. He’s a good quality person, and if you have quality people in the whole team, trying to change and try to change culture, that’s what you need,” Ponting said in an interview for Jiohotstar after Win.

“If you talked to the players individually, I think each of them would give Shreyas a great rap because he spent a lot of time with them. He wrote them, gave them his back,” he added that he needed it, and gave them pants when he needed it, which is a really good and strong leader, “he added.” He added.

This means Pandjab’s first top-two completion since 2014 and is preparing them with a significant advantage to the playoffs: two opportunities to achieve the finals. Now they are waiting for the result of the conflict of RCB VS LSG 27.
