In IPL 2025, Punjab Kings, under Shreyas Iyer's captaincy, might just be on the brink of making history. With their recent win over the Mumbai Indians, PBKS is currently enjoying the top spot on the IPL 2025 points table. The side has concluded the group stage with nine wins and four losses, securing a net run rate (NRR) of +0.372 and 19 points.

Skipper Iyer deserves significant credit for the way he has led the side in this edition of the cash-rich league. Speaking about his leadership, former Team India cricketer Robin Uthappa said, "Shreyas has always been an exceptional captain. You always sensed that he felt underappreciated at KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders) despite adding value there. He moved to a franchise where not much had been achieved historically, and then went on to win it for them. That says a lot about his leadership and belief."
