Shreyas Iyer's Spectacular Six Ends Abruptly in IPL 2025

Iyer's Brief but Impactful Innings

In the early stages of the match, with Priyansh Ary departing during the powerplay, the Punjab Kings opted to send Josh Inglish in at number three, while Shreyas Iyer made his debut at the fourth position in the 2025 Indian Premier League. Iyer's innings was short yet significant, as he scored 45 runs before his dismissal in the 13th over. Facing Digvesh Singh Rathi, Iyer struck the first ball of the over for a magnificent six over long-on, showcasing his impeccable timing and skill.

This impressive shot seemed to elevate the Punjab Kings' innings. However, the excitement was fleeting. On the very next ball, Rathi bowled one outside off, enticing Iyer to play an inside-out shot. Unfortunately, the ball spun away just enough to cause Iyer to mistime his shot, resulting in a high catch to backward point, which Mayank Yadav easily secured.

This wicket was particularly noteworthy—not only for Rathi, who celebrated with his unique lighter notebook gesture, but also because it marked the first occasion in IPL 2027 that Iyer was dismissed by a spinner. He left the field after contributing 45 runs, having provided crucial momentum before his exit.
