Shreyas Iyer He has established himself as one of the finest T20 captains in world cricket at the moment. Under his leadership, Punjab Kings reached the final last year. This was the franchise's first appearance in an IPL final since 2011. So far in IPL 2026, Punjab Kings are the only unbeaten team with five wins from six matches. One of their matches ended without result.
Recently, Shreyas shed light on his mindset and underlined the importance he gives to expression. The right-handed batsman said that his current aim is to win this year's IPL.
“Whenever I play in a tournament, I play to win. For me, winning is everything; there is no option. Even if it doesn't happen, it's okay, I can accept it and move on. But whatever I do, whatever my efforts are, is for the trophy. I play to win. Whatever tournaments and opportunities come next, I would definitely like to win them. For this year, the expression is to win the IPL. I just want to share it with the universe. I want to lift the trophy. To reach that level one has to definitely take small steps and think in that direction, only then you can achieve it,” Shreyas said via JioStar.
Shreyas has not only led Punjab Kings well. He has performed amazingly with the bat. In five innings, he has scored 208 runs at an average of 52 and strike rate of 182.46. The 31-year-old player has already scored three half-centuries.
On Sunday, April 19, Punjab Kings defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 54 runs at the Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. They will now head to New Delhi to face Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, April 25. It promises to be an interesting encounter between two strong batting sides on a ground that has very short boundaries.
