Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer played a blinder in IPL 2025 Qualifier 2, smashing an unbeaten 87* off 41 balls to seal a five-wicket win over Mumbai Indians. One shot, in particular—a boundary off a perfect Jasprit Bumrah yorker—was hailed as the "shot of the IPL" by AB de Villiers. The former South African skipper said, “If I tried that, my stumps would've shattered.” Iyer’s calm presence and elite shot-making have earned plaudits across the board. With over 600 runs this season, Iyer now leads PBKS into the final against RCB, eyeing their first IPL title.
