After DC’s game with PBKS, the PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer stated the Indian Premier League is more competitive than the English Premier League. Shreyas gave his viewpoint at the end of the game, when Delhi beat Punjab, who have already made the playoffs this season. Three teams that are already heading to the playoffs—Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and now Punjab Kings—have all lost to sides that have been eliminated in the last three matches. Because of this, Shreyas noted that all teams could overcome any competition on their special day.
Shreyas Iyer Statement
“It’s bigger than a Premier League, I feel. Every team is equally poised in this tournament. You need to stay positive and calm as much as possible. There is always a sunrise you see tomorrow. You need to stick to the present rather than dwelling on what happened today,” Shreyas Iyer said after the match.

Shreyas Iyer About The Match
“I felt that it was a fantastic score, to be honest, on this wicket. The wicket was helping the seamers. There was variable bounce on the wicket. The ball wasn’t coming at the same pace. I felt that the score was over par,” Shreyas Iyer said.
“I think we weren’t disciplined enough in terms of our execution. Once we read the wicket in the first innings, we planned on bowling hard lengths as much as possible and right at the stumps. We couldn’t execute our plans as we tried bowling bouncers at certain stages, which wasn’t required. It’s a great learning experience for the boys,” he added.
