With IPL 2025 just days away, starting March 28, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer is radiating optimism. At the Mohali jersey unveiling, he proclaimed, ‘Expectations are sky-high, and that’s what makes it thrilling. My focus is solely on the trophy.’
The team’s journey to last season’s final under Iyer’s captaincy showcased their potential, despite the heartbreak against RCB. This year, they’re hungry for redemption. Iyer thrives on challenges, stressing that every match demands victory.
Iyer candidly discussed his post-injury transformation. Losing 7 kilos tested his resolve, but rigorous training brought him back stronger. ‘Overcoming that phase fills me with pride. I’m ready to captain with honor,’ he stated.
Pacer Arshdeep Singh highlighted the joy of fan support amid pressure. ‘It feels like an army of 30,000 backing you,’ he noted, committing to dominate home matches. He credited Punjab Kings for believing in him early on, when others hesitated. ‘Their trust means everything. I aim to repay with trophies and loyalty,’ Arshdeep said.
Key figures like CEO Satish Menon and sponsor CP Plus executives joined the celebrations. Punjab Kings enter IPL 2025 with renewed vigor, led by Iyer’s trophy obsession, promising an exhilarating campaign ahead.
