Team India’s star batsman Shreyas Iyer has been a little happy and a little sorrow for the last few weeks. Under the captaincy of Iyer, Punjab Kings made it to the finals of IPL 2025 after 11 years. Iyer himself played many explosive innings during this entire tournament. But first he was selected in Team India and then he also failed to win the first title for the team. The defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final was no less than a shock for Iyer and Punjab. If this was not enough, now Iyer has suffered a shock again and he failed as soon as he came in a new tournament.
The end of the IPL 2025 season was not good for Iyer. In this season itself, Iyer, who became the captain of Punjab, created history by transporting the team to the finals. This was the first time after IPL 2014 when Punjab made it to the finals. During this, Iyer himself scored more than 600 runs. But when the final day came, captain Iyer himself failed and was dismissed by scoring just 1 run in 2 balls. The effect of this was that the Punjab team could not achieve the target of 191 runs and missed the title.
Jerk again after IPL Final
The final ended in Ahmedabad on the night of June 3 and Iyer once again landed on the ground after 3 days. But once again he could not leave any effect. After the end of the IPL, Iyer has currently played in the Mumbai T20 League, where he is captaining the Sobo Mumbai Phalkans team. On Friday 6 June, when Iyer landed for batting in the match against Triumphs Nights, there were high expectations from him. But like the IPL final, captain Iyer failed here and was dismissed for just 13 runs in 19 balls.
But this time the team won
When Iyer was out on the last ball of the 10th over, the team’s score was only 75 runs and 4 wickets had fallen. Despite this, his team won this match by 4 wickets. The reason for this, the young batsman Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 42 runs in just 25 balls. At the same time, Vinayak Narayan scored 33 runs in 21 balls and Akash Praveen also scored an unbeaten 30 runs to bring the team to the target of 146 runs.
