Newly appointed Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shreyas Iyer delivered a stellar performance, scoring a fluent half-century off just 27 balls against Gujarat Giants in a high-octane IPL 2025 clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday.

Punjab Kings suffered an early jolt as Prabhsimran Singh departed cheaply, leaving the team in need of stability. Iyer stepped in to rebuild the innings, displaying his trademark composure and strokeplay. Partnering with IPL debutant Priyansh Arya, he steered Punjab towards a competitive total.
