Preity Zinta: The caravan of IPL has reached its 18th season. But, there are still many teams whose title winning account is not open. Punjab Kings is also one of those teams. But the key to the luck of Punjab Kings is going to open in IPL 2025. This is because the word defeat has recently disappeared from the dictionary of the player on whom Preity Zinta has spent crores of rupees to make a deal. We are talking about Shreyas Iyer, who has emerged as a champion in every tournament he has participated in in the last one year. And now it is Preity Zinta’s turn to lead Punjab Kings to victory.
Punjab bought Shreyas Iyer
Punjab Kings added Shreyas Iyer to themselves in the mega auction of IPL 2025. Punjab Kings have bought Iyer by taking out Rs 26.50 crore from their purse. With such a huge amount, Iyer is one of the most expensive players not only in Punjab Kings but also in IPL history. Punjab Kings have also given the captaincy to Shreyas Iyer for IPL 2025.
How will Iyer brighten the fortunes of Punjab Kings?
How can Shreyas Iyer change the fortunes of Punjab Kings now? Let’s find out if he can give them their first IPL title under his captaincy. In fact, with everything Iyer has achieved on the cricket field in the last 12 months, it seems that Punjab Kings can become the champion of IPL 2025.
Shreyas Iyer won many titles in 12 months
Iyer won the Ranji Trophy in March 2024. In May 2024, he made Kolkata Knight Riders the IPL champion under his captaincy. In October 2024, he won the Irani Cup. In December 2024, Shreyas Iyer won the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament and now in March 2025, along with Team India, he not only captured the Champions Trophy but was also India’s highest run getter in the tournament. If Shreyas Iyer’s title winning streak continues like this, then another title can fall in his lap in May 2025. With this IPL victory, he can also open the account of Punjab Kings under his captaincy.
