IPL 2026: Arshdeep Singh says pressure is a ‘privilege’ for Punjab Kings
Shreyas Iyer on IPL 2026: Shreyas Iyer suffered a serious injury during the ODI series on the Australia tour, after which he faced significant difficulties.
The 19th season of the IPL will begin on the 28th of March. Prior to the tournament, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer stated that he loves a challenge and aims to win the trophy this time. Punjab Kings made it to the final of the IPL 2025 tournament. Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, Punjab played very well, but they lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the final of the tournament.
At the event to unveil the new jersey of the team in Mohali, Captain Shreyas Iyer stated that there would be high expectations from Punjab this time, and that it would be a lot of fun. Shreyas Iyer said, "The expectations are high, and it's fun. I enjoy the challenges, but the most important thing is that whenever we step on the field, we have to win. My eyes are set on the trophy." Shreyas explained that it's always difficult to come back from an injury. "I lost about 7 kg and had to work very hard to gain that weight, but I enjoy the challenges. I'm happy that I've overcome that difficult phase in my life and am now back here to lead the team with pride."
Arshdeep Singh, who was present at the event with captain Shreyas Iyer, said, "When you feel pressure, it's a privilege. It's a great feeling when you get so much support from the crowd. When the fans cheer for you, you feel like 30,000 people are running with you. We will try our best to win all our home matches this year."
