Shreyas Iyer Under Fire After PBKS Slump to Back-to-Back Losses

The IPL 2026 drama unfolded at the Narendra Modi Stadium, where Punjab Kings (PBKS) faced a brutal second successive loss. In a match that had the intensity of a Bollywood thriller, Gujarat Titans (GT), led by Shubman Gill, capitalised on PBKS's missteps, leaving Iyer’s captaincy under the microscope.

Critics, including former Indian legends, didn’t hold back. They pointed out Iyer’s questionable decisions, particularly in key moments where tactical acumen was desperately needed. From field placements to bowling changes, it’s clear that Iyer has some serious learning to do if he wants to steer PBKS back to winning ways.

As the IPL heats up, the pressure is mounting. Will Iyer rise to the challenge and turn it around, or will the Kings continue to flounder? Fans are eager for answers, and the next match could be a defining moment for his captaincy.
