IPL 2025: PBKS Will Be Hoping Things Turn Around For Them This Time, Says Sunil Gavaskar

Star Sports Press Room: As Punjab Kings remain in contention for a playoffs spot, legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar feels Shreyas Iyer will play a key role for them in the race to the play-offs, as IPL 2025 resumes on Saturday.

PBKS are currently in the third position with 15 points from 11 matches, a point behind Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who are sharing the top two positions with 16 points each -- the Titans ahead on net run rate.

Talking about the importance of Shreyas Iyer's leadership in keeping Punjab Kings in contention for the IPL 2025 playoffs spot, Gavaskar said, “That actually tells you the importance of captaincy because look, the coach is in there and he does come at the strategic time-out - the coach and the support staff. But at the end of the day, the decision in a split second has to be taken by the captain, and for that, I think you've got to give credit to Shreyas Iyer for the way he led last year because they were in a tough situation."
