Cooper Connolly: Ready to Emulate His Idol in IPL 2026
The PBKS all-rounder shares his admiration for Shreyas Iyer ahead of the season.
Australian dynamo Cooper Connolly is buzzing as he joins Punjab Kings for IPL 2026, and he's got his eyes firmly set on Shreyas Iyer. The 22-year-old all-rounder dished out some love for Iyer, stating how he admires his batting finesse. With the auction price tag of ₹3 crore, Connolly is ready to hit the ground running and show what he's made of.
Having idolised Shaun Marsh, Connolly is looking to blend some Aussie flair with Indian cricket's rich tapestry. He’s not just here to make up the numbers; he’s eager to learn, grow, and contribute to PBKS's quest for IPL glory. The franchise is keen to bounce back after last season's heartbreak against Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Connolly could be the secret sauce they need.
The excitement is palpable as PBKS gears up to face Gujarat Titans on March 31 in New Chandigarh. Can Connolly turn his admiration into performance? Fans are ready for a show as the IPL season heats up!
