Captain Shreyas Iyer led from the front as Punjab Kings defeated Mumbai Indians by five wickets in Qualifier 2 to qualify for an Indian Premier League (IPL) final after 11 years. The last time Punjab Kings played an IPL final was in 2014 when they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in the summit clash.
Chasing Mumbai Indians’ 203/6, Punjab Kings at 72/3 in the eight over, but Iyer played a blinder of a knock with an unbeaten 87 from 41 balls with five fours and eight sixes. Nehal Wadhera (48) and Josh Inglis (38) also contributed as Punjab Kings romped home in 19 overs.
On June 3, it will be an all-red final with Punjab Kings taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Notably, none of them have won an IPL trophy. It was also Iyer second IPL final in a row after the India batter guided Kolkata Knight Riders to title in IPL 2024.
