Captain Shreyas Iyer, who brought Punjab Kings to the finals after 11 years, can play the final once again, but this time he can play the title match for the team of Sobo Mumbai Falkans, not from Punjab Kings. Shreyas Iyer is currently captaining the Sobo Mumbai Falkans team in the Mumbai T20 League. Under his captaincy, the team has made it to the semi -finals, where it will compete with Namo Bandra Blaster on June 10. Iyer has a golden opportunity to fill the wounds of defeat from Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by winning the trophy this time.
Iyer’s team just two steps away from the title
Shreyas Iyer’s Sobo Mumbai Falkans is currently at the top of the points table in the Mumbai T20 League. She has won the semi -finals by winning 4 of her 5 matches. Mumbai Falkans has lost only one match. Although Iyer’s bat in this league has been still silent, but under his captaincy, the team is performing brilliantly. Iyer has scored 49 runs in 3 innings of 5 matches.
In the semi -finals, Sobo Mumbai Falkans will compete with Namo Banda Blasters, captained by Ajinkya Rahane. While the second semi -final match will be held by Eagle Thane Strikers and Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals. Whereas Triumph Nights MNE, captained by Suryakumar Yadav, has already been out of the round. Now Shreyas Iyer wants to win this league under any circumstances.
RCB broke Punjab’s dream
Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, Punjab Kings made it to the title match after 2014, but in the final match played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3, Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Punjab Kings and broke his dream of winning the IPL for the first time. RCB has won this trophy after 18 years.
In this season, Shreyas Iyer performed brilliantly with the bat besides captaincy. He scored 604 runs in 17 matches at an average of 50.33. This includes 6 half -centuries. However, in the final match, he was dismissed for only 1 run, due to which his team had to face defeat.
