IPL: Shreyas Iyer’s brilliance carries Punjab Kings into final

PUNJAB KINGS skipper Shreyas Iyer hit a remarkable unbeaten 87 to carry his team to a five-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier 2 in Ahmedabad on Sunday (1), and to the IPL final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

This will be Punjab’s first title clash since 2014, and second successive for Iyer as captain after marshalling Kolkata Knight Riders’ triumph in 2024.
