Iyer's Ton Ends PBKS Losing Streak in Dramatic Fashion

In a high-stakes clash at Lucknow, Punjab Kings finally snapped their losing run with a clinical seven-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants. Shreyas Iyer produced the innings of the season so far, remaining not out on 101 from 51 balls to steer his side home with two overs to spare. The skipper admitted he felt immense relief after the victory, noting that the century came at the right moment following six straight defeats. Iyer singled out the bowling unit for special praise, particularly Omarzai’s early breakthroughs and Chahal’s crucial middle-over control that removed Rishabh Pant. He also reflected on his own approach, explaining how patience and timing allowed him to build a match-winning knock. With the result, Punjab Kings revived their fading playoff hopes and now turn their attention to supporting Mumbai Indians in the next fixture.
