Later, both Iyer and Mi Skipper Hardik Pandya were fined for slow rates, for adding to the night drama.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) sealed their spot in the IPL 2025 final after 11 years with a five-wicket win over Mumbai Indians (MI), but the post-match scenes were as interesting. Captain Shreyas Iyer, who starred in the chase with a stunning unbeaten 87 off just 41 balls, didn’t hold back his emotions after hitting the winning six at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Watch: Angry Shreyas Iyer against Shashank Singh
Just as celebrations began, Iyer was seen having a heated exchange with teammate Shashank Singh, who had been run out for 2 in the 17th over. The moment was unnecessary, and it briefly tilted the pressure back on PBKS. The entire game was built on Iyer’s back; it didn’t help him that Shashank, being a specialist finisher, gifted his wicket.
Television cameras caught Iyer walking straight up to Shashank, pointing fingers and mouthing angry words, clearly frustrated by the lapse in judgement that nearly cost them their chase.
