Iyer backs his openers Prabhsimran and Priyansh as PBKS aim for IPL glory.
Shreyas Iyer is firing up his young openers, Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya, with a simple yet powerful mantra: 'Just be yourself.' The Punjab Kings have been unstoppable in IPL 2026, remaining unbeaten in their first six matches, largely thanks to the dynamic duo at the top. With both scoring 211 runs each, Prabhsimran is the steady accumulator, while Priyansh is the explosive run-slinger, boasting a staggering strike rate of 248.23.
Iyer understands the pressure on young players and insists that freedom is key. He’s not about to stifle their natural flair; instead, he’s instilling confidence by highlighting their match-winning potential. "When they know they can play without the fear of failure, it transforms their performance," he stated, emphasising the importance of their bond as a team.
With the PBKS team room buzzing with camaraderie, Iyer believes that the off-field chemistry translates to success on the pitch. They’re not just teammates; they’re building a family. As the Kings gear up to face Delhi Capitals on April 25, the question is: can they keep the winning streak alive?
