IPL 2026: Very Good To Have Iyer As Captain, Takes Responsibility And Accountability, Says Bahutule

By IANS News April 05, 2026 • 17:22 PM View: 162

Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings (PBKS) have begun their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 campaign with consecutive wins. But it is captain Shreyas Iyer's authority as a leader that has again caught the attention of those interested in seeing if the side can finally win the title they missed out on last year.

Former India spinner Sairaj Bahutule joined the PBKS set-up ahead of the ongoing season and feels Iyer has sharpened his leadership instincts, crediting his accountability and ability to read each player as key factors behind the team being a force to reckon with in the IPL.
