With Priyansh Ary leaving early in the powerplay, the Punjab Kings dugout send Josh Inglish at three, seeing Shreyas Iyer coming at number 4 for the first time in 2025 Indian Premier League. Iyer’s short yet impactful stay at the crease scoring 45 runs, came to a dramatic end in the 13th over. Facing Digvesh Singh Rathi, Iyer launched the first ball of the over for a towering six over long-on — a majestic pick-up shot that showcased his effortless timing and class. It was a clean strike that seemed to push Punjab Kings’ innings into top gear. However, the joy was short-lived. On the very next delivery, Rathi floated one outside off, tempting Iyer to go inside-out. But the ball spun away ever so slightly, and Iyer mistimed it completely. The result: a sliced shot that ballooned towards backward point, where Mayank Yadav took a comfortable catch. The wicket was special — not just for Rathi, who pulled out his quirky but lighter notebook celebration, but also because it marked the first time Iyer was dismissed by a spinner in IPL 2027. He departed for 45, having injected momentum just before falling.
