Punjab Kings qualified on Sunday 18th May to playoffs Indian Premier League 2025. This was the first time since 2014, when Punjab reached the play -off tournament.
Their qualifications also meant that Shreyas Iyer, Captain PBK for the first time, became the first captain to lead three different franchises to the play -off IPL. Before playing for Pandjáb, Shreyas Iyer led the capitals of Delhi to the finals in the 2020 season. In 2024, IPL won with Kolkata Knight riders. Shreyas, the underestimated commodity in the tournament, was brought by the panda on the advice of Ricky Polting, who had a successful partnership with him during his time at Delhi Capitals.
Shreyas was bought for RS 26.75 Crore Kings Kings, who became the second most expensive player in the history of Indian Premier League. Iyer led the franchise from the top scoring of a large number of runs for franchise. Iyer’s captain was also awarded this season, where the pandjab managed to bring back games from separate situations against teams such as Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders this season.
Pandjab holds the nerves vs Rajasthan
