IPL 2025: Shreyas Iyer Deserves Full Credit, He Delivered When It Mattered, Says De Villiers
Former South Africa: Former South Africa batter AB de Villiers praised Punjab Kings' captain Shreyas Iyer's heroic knock against Mumbai Indians to guide the side to their second IPL final. Iyer's swashbuckling 41-ball 87 not out was studded with eight sixes and five fours in the vital chase of 204 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday.
With the win, Punjab Kings have set up a summit clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru on June 3 as the tournament will get its new winner after 2022, when debutant Gujarat Titans lifted the title under the leadership of Hardik Pandya.
Iyer's knock was full of maturity and calmness as he built a crucial 84-run stand with Nehal Wadhera and kept the momentum going for PBKS despite losing wickets of Josh Inglis and Wadhera during the chase.
