“I don’t know, to be honest. I love great occasions. I tell myself and my colleagues, the bigger the occasion is, the quieter you are and you will get the best results. Today I was focusing on my breathing instead of sweating.”
When Iyer hit, the Punjab Kings (PBK) had lost both openers, Prabhsimran Singh (6) and Priyansh Arya (20), and required a batter that could hit and maintain the execution rate. The PBKS captain made precisely that, while producing his best blow from the Premier League India (IPL).
