After a perfect start of 2/2 wins, led from the front by their new captain Shreyas Iyer, there's no doubt now that the Punjab Kings played a masterstroke by acquiring the service of Shreyas at the IPL mega auction last November. The INR 26.75 crore they spent on the batter could well prove to be worth every penny. However, there's still a long way to go, but the team's new coach Ricky Ponting has full faith in Shreyas, who the Australian calls 'Rolls Royce'.
Punjab defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by eight wickets on Monday to build on their 11-run opening win of the season against Gujarat Titans. In both the victories, Shreyas played a key role, scoring 97 not out off 42 balls against Lucknow and a 30-ball 52 not out against Gujarat.
