Punjab Kings Stay Unbeaten in Indian Premier League 2026; Shreyas Iyer’s Captaincy and Form Spark Comeback Buzz
Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan has claimed that Shreyas Iyer has all the qualities of a leader and will soon make a strong comeback to the Indian T20 team.
Punjab Kings have been playing well in the IPL 2026 tournament. They haven't lost any game in this year’s edition of the league and are currently leading the points chart with 9 points. In Thursday's clash, Punjab Kings defeated Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium by seven wickets. Shreyas Iyer has played a key role as the captain and batter of Punjab Kings.
Irfan Pathan, former India all-rounder, feels that Shreyas is now just one step away from making a come-back into the India T20 team due to his excellent form. Pathan further shared his views about Punjab Kings' performance on Star Sports. Their plan was clear. Arshdeep Singh established momentum brilliantly with the new ball. During the chase, their captain led from the front and remained in control throughout.
He said that one player who stood out to me was Prabhsimran Singh. He showed great maturity in playing the dual role of wicketkeeper and opener. He wasn't in this role last season, but he has done a great job this year. The composure he displayed has made Punjab's performance even better.
