Despite leading Punjab Kings (PBKS) to a thrilling victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 2025 Qualifier 2, captain Shreyas Iyer faces challenges ahead of the final.
In the high-stakes match, Iyer delivered a stellar performance, scoring an unbeaten 87 off 41 balls, propelling PBKS to their second IPL final in franchise history.
However, Iyer was fined ₹24 lakh for maintaining a slow over rate during the match. Additionally, each member of the playing XI, including the impact player, was fined ₹6 lakh or 25% of their match fee, whichever is lesser.
Moreover, Iyer’s frustration was evident when he expressed visible anger towards teammate Shashank Singh after a run-out incident during the chase.
