Do you think Shreyas Iyer will lead Punjab Kings to their first IPL title?
Who’s that IPL player?With a grin, Shreyas replied, “I feel happy. I actually feel glad. We get yelled at in the Indian team (Jab team me itna gaali khaate hai), and then, when we get the same seniors out…”Before he could finish, Rohit interjected with a smile, “I know he’s talking about me.”To which Shreyas quipped, “Indeed, haan. Whenever I get a chance to get the seniors out, I enjoy it from the bottom of my heart.”The moment has struck a chord with fans, and the clip went viral on social media.On the field, Iyer has led PBKS to a dream season, topping the league table with 19 points and defeating Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 to reach their first final since 2014. RCB, meanwhile, are also seeking their first title after reaching the final via Qualifier 1.
With both teams yet to win an IPL trophy, Tuesday’s clash guarantees a new champion — and for Shreyas, it might just be another reason to celebrate, perhaps from the bottom of his heart again.
