‘I love chasing on any field, thrive under pressure’: Shreyas Iyer after helping PBKS beat CSK by 4 wickets

Punjab Kings were back on winning ways after chasing down 191 to beat Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk in Wednesday’s Indian Premier League match, resulting in CSK becoming the first team to be eliminated from the playoffs race. Where Yuzvendra Chahal stole the show with his second career IPL hat-trick, it was skipper Shreyas Iyer who controlled PBKS’ tricky chase. He anchored the innings well and guided PBKS to a four-wicket win with his 72 off 41. “I love chasing on any field. I feel like I thrive whenever there is a big total on the board and you need to take the charge and momentum for the team for the rest of the batters to come and go full throttle,” said Iyer, who added valuable partnerships with Prabhsimran Singh, Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh. He was also adjudged the player-of-t...

Prabhsimran Singh’s deft touches, Priyansh Arya’s maturity stands out in PBKS’ rained-out clash against KKR

Synopsis: Priyansh Arya crafted a skilful 35-ball 69 and Prabhsimran Singh mixed his aggressive heaves with deft late-cuts to make a dazzling 49-ball 83 to propel Punjab Kings to 201. But rain had the last laugh in Kolkata. Plucky Prabhsimran dazzles Prabhsimran can give the impression of being a biff-er who likes to carve and wallop. He does all that with aplomb, but it’s his crafty little deflections – the late cuts and laps – that say so much about his batting brain. He has an uncanny ability to mix both sides, and that puts opponents off their game. Story continues below this ad On a sluggish Eden Gardens pitch where the ball was stopping, KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane had understandably dispensed with deep third man, placing a short third and backward point instead.

Ricky Ponting’s verdict on PBKS’s win: ‘Best win I’ve ever had as IPL coach… don’t need many of these at my age’

Ricky Ponting branded Punjab Kings’ 16-run win against the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders — where PBKS successfully managed to defend 111 runs, the lowest total that has been defended in IPL history — as “just about the best win that I’ve ever had” as a coach in the tournament. Ponting’s presence in IPL dugouts as coach stretches back to 2014. Ponting, though, admitted that he didn’t need too many of such nerve-wracking games “at his age”. “The heart rate still up a bit for me – it’s probably up over 200. I don’t need many of those games like that at my age of over 50 now,” Ponting told the host broadcaster with a smile soon after the game ended in Punjab’s favour.“It just goes to show how funny a game it is. Only three days ago we couldn’t defend 246 [245] and here we are, def...

Can a derailed SRH put things back on track?

A common thread between Adam Gilchrist and David Warner, apart from being Australians, is they have captained a Hyderabad-based franchise to IPL title in their second season. Another Australian, Pat Cummins, is also in his second season as Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper. It had all looked promising at the start—the hyper-aggressive brand of batting, and the reinforcements in the auction, all pointed towards another excellent season. But last Sunday, against Gujarat Titans, the stands were half-empty with still quite a bit of game remaining. That was SRH’s fourth consecutive loss in a row. The ballistic Travishek combo, which was the key behind SRH winning most of their games last season, is yet to fire this season.
