The IPL 2025 season has begun, and Punjab Kings (PBKS), often seen as underachievers in the league, are looking to make a statement. Led by Shreyas Iyer, who captained KKR to the IPL 2024 title and took Delhi Capitals to the 2020 final, PBKS hopes for a breakthrough season. As Iyer aims to make an impact both as a captain and player, here are some key records he could achieve in IPL 2025.
1. 6000 T20 Runs
Shreyas Iyer is on the verge of a significant milestone in T20 cricket. He needs just 26 more runs to reach 6000 T20 runs. Currently, with an average of 33 in 217 innings and a strike rate of 133.64, Iyer will become the 11th Indian player to achieve this feat. Additionally, with 24 more runs, he will also complete 5000 runs in T20s in India.
2. 100 T20 Catches
Apart from his batting prowess, Iyer is also a sharp fielder. He needs just one more catch to reach 50 catches in the IPL. Additionally, with five more catches in T20 cricket, he will achieve 100 career catches in the format, further showcasing his all-round ability.
3. 250 Sixes in T20s
Iyer is known for his powerful hitting, and he’s now just three sixes away from reaching 250 sixes in T20 cricket. He’ll be aiming to accomplish this milestone early in the season, perhaps even in the first match against Gujarat Titans. Moreover, if he manages to hit 14 more fours in IPL 2025, he will also reach 500 fours in Asia.
These milestones make Shreyas Iyer a key player to watch in IPL 2025 as he strives to break new records and lead PBKS to glory.
