In a rain-affected match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Punjab Kings (PBKS) triumphed over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by five wickets in a 14-over contest. PBKS chased down RCB’s total with ease, finishing the match in just 13 overs. While PBKS bowlers collectively performed well, one of the standout performances came from Yuzvendra Chahal, who impressed with the ball, claiming 2/11 in his three overs. Shreyas Iyer’s leadership played a crucial role in the win. Speaking during the post-match presentation, Iyer revealed the conversation he had with Yuzvendra Chahal before the game. “I personally had a chat with him and told him that you are a match-winner, and you need to get us as many wickets as possible. You don't need to be safe. He has a capability of bouncing back and he is one of the best bowlers in the IPL," Iyer explained. He encouraged Chahal to take the aggressive approach rather than playing it safe, which led to the leg-spinner’s impressive performance. 'Instinctive Moves' behind success Shreyas Iyer also opened up about his plans against the RCB batters, who were reduced to 42/7 at one point. "Variety is the spice of life, and we are here to experience all kinds of games here, it's a great challenge. There was no thinking to be honest, I was just taking instinctive moves. I just didn't want new batters to come in and settle in," he said. Along with Chahal, Marco Jansen's 2/10 also played a major role in reducing RCB to 95/9. "Jansen was getting a lot of bounce, and he was bowling lethal. To be honest we didn't know how the wicket was going to feel but the bowlers adapted to it," he added. Chasing 96 to win, RCB bowlers made PBKS work for their chase, but Nehal Wadhera's unbeaten 33 from 19 deliveries changed the course of the game. Speaking about the young batter, Iyer praised his approach.
