Shreyas Iyer has proven himself as one of India’s main reliable batsmen because he successfully plays all cricket formats both nationally and for his Indian Premier League team. According to Sourav Ganguly the former Indian team captain Shreyas Iyer showed himself to be the “most improved batter” in the previous year because of his remarkable advancement and steadiness. During PBKS’s victory against GT at the Narendra Modi Stadium Iyer produced a match-winner performance by scoring 97 runs without losing his wicket from 42 balls with five fours and nine sixes during their 11-run win on March 25. PBKS achieved a strong total of 244 by an unbeaten 97 runs from Iyer which he scored in 42 balls with five boundaries and nine sixes.

Gujarat Titans tried hard to overcome Punjab Kings’ 244-run score but failed to succeed during their 232/5 run chase. 42-ball innings Shreyas Iyer scored 97 runs to help PBKS create their huge minimum score of 244. Sourav Ganguly who served as BCCI president commended Iyer’s exceptional improvement while praising his steady performance during challenging situations. Ganguly sent a message on X that Iyer had become the most developed batsman during the past twelve months and was now prepared for all cricket variations. His development continues to rise after solving past struggles with long balls. Iyer received credibility from this assertion as his star began to rise in Indian cricket.
