Skipper Shreyas Iyer's poor run in the Punjab Kings (PBKS) home ground continued after another flop show in the IPL 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Under his leadership, PBKS has tasted success in the ongoing edition of the cash-rich league. But on a personal front, so far, Shreyas Iyer has had a mixed bag of results in IPL 2025.
On the opposition's turf, Shreyas Iyer has showcased tremendous grit by smashing the bowlers all around the ground. But at Punjab's home ground, the right-hander has managed to score just 25 runs in four innings.

During his forgettable run in Mullanpur in the ongoing season of the cash-rich league, his tussle to garner runs resonates in his scores of 10(5), 9(7), 0(2) and 6(10).
Meanwhile, he has three 50-plus scores in the four away games, a sight for sore eyes.
During the RCB clash, he tried to take on Romario Shepherd by attempting to loft the ball down the ground. However, he ended up slicing it in the air, and Krunal Pandya came sprinting towards the landing zone and took a stunner to end Iyer's stay on the crease.
Iyer's loss heavily dented Punjab's chances of putting up a competitive total. Punjab continued to lose wickets in clusters during the middle overs. RCB's ball tweakers Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma weaved a web of spin, and Punjab batters found themselves tangled in it.
Marco Jansen and Shashank Singh attempted to launch a late counterattack but were reduced to silence by RCB's clinical line and lengths. Boundaries started to dry up as both batters laboured to break the shackles.
RCB's clinical fielding display kept Punjab away from sniffing boundaries. Shashank Singh (31*), known for his explosive display, played against his nature, while Marco Jansen (25*) managed to execute a couple of hits to lift Punjab to 157/6.
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) under Iyer's captaincy will play their next IPL 2025 fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 26 at the Eden Gardens.
