IPL 2026: Was Just Saying Whatever They Get From Here On, Have To Score One More Run And Become Victorious, Says Iyer
While Prabhsimran Singh: Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer said his team’s mindset during the high-scoring IPL clash was simple - to score ‘one more run’ than the Delhi Capitals and get a victory, while praising KL Rahul’s innings and the openers’ blazing start.
Iyer’s words come after PBKS hunted down a record 265 with seven balls to spare. While Prabhsimran Singh top-scored with 76, Iyer himself made 71 not out to ensure PBKS maintained their unbeaten run in the competition. It also meant that Rahul’s majestic 152 not out – the highest score by an Indian batter in the IPL – went in vain.
“In my mind, I was just saying that whatever they get from here on, I think we just have to score one more run and ensure we become victorious. And that was the mindset, nothing more, honestly speaking, because whatever balls the bowlers were bowling at that particular time, I think he was improvising and he (Rahul) was playing beautiful shots.
