🏏IPL 2025, Match 31:Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 7:30 PM - Page 3

script ke hisaab se aaj shreyas ko kkr se badla lena hai

Shreyas was made captain and now, he has scored far more runs at a much higher strike rate in his first five matches of the season than any KKR batter thus far. As KKR prepare to face the Punjab Kings , among their biggest headaches would be how to stop their ex-captain who they chose to let go of last year.

Iyer is the fourth-highest run scorer in the league at the moment, having blasted 250 runs in five matches at a strike rate of 208.33 and average of 83.33. KKR's highest scorer is their captain Ajinkya Rahane, who sits 13th on the Orange Cap table with 204 runs in six matches at a strike rate of 154.54 and average of 40.80. Rahane's numbers are not bad but KKR would surely be thinking what could have been had Iyer been flying high above him still wearing the franchise colours.

Iyer has a headache to deal with going into this match though. Fast bowler Lockie Ferguson couldn't complete his first over in PBKS's extraordinary defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match and he is expected to be out for the season. He also needs to make sure that PBKS's good start to the season doesn't get derailed by the loss to SRH. It was a crushing defeat, with PBKS scoring 245/6 and still losing by eight wickets with nine balls to spare thanks to Abhishek Sharma's record-breaking century.

Ricky Ponting, the celebrated Australian captain whose nickname "Punter" speaks to his shrewd judgment, recently highlighted a promising young talent from his Punjab Kings squad. Speaking at The Indian Express Idea Exchange, the coach singled out debutant Priyansh Arya (acquired for a significant Rs 3.8 crore) when discussing the evolution of ideal auction picks since his playing days. Ponting confidently asserted, "What I look for is ball-striking talent, like Priyansh Arya. He’s an out-and-out clean ball striker. Technically, he looks a bit unorthodox, but I guarantee he’s going to make a serious mark on this IPL." Just days later, Arya validated his coach's faith, demonstrating that the Punjab Kings' investment was indeed a wise one.
