Ananya Lohia , Punjab - In a strong vote of confidence for her team’s leadership, Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta has come out in full support of captain Shreyas Iyer, hailing him as a “strategic leader who leads by example.”
Iyer, regarded as one of India’s most dependable top-order batters, is known for his calm temperament and sharp cricketing mind. Whether anchoring an innings under pressure or accelerating when required, he has consistently delivered with the bat. His ability to read match situations and make calculated decisions has also strengthened his impact as a captain. On Monday, Preity took to her X account and did an impromptu session. When a fan asked her to share her experience of working with Shreyas, she wrote, “He is an inspiring & strategic leader that leads by example. Intelligent, calm, inclusive & accessible to the whole team. On a fun note, he is also incredible with kids, that’s why my kids lovingly call him Shreyas Bhaiya and adore him. Under Iyer’s captaincy, Punjab Kings have shown better coordination and intent on the field, with players responding positively to his approach. His balanced style of leadership—combining aggression with control—has helped the team stay competitive throughout the tournament.
Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer talked about his strategy this IPL season a few days ago. “Whenever I play in any tournament, I play to win. For me, winning is everything; there is no substitute. Even if it doesn’t happen, that is fine, I can accept it and move on. But whatever I do, whatever my efforts are for, it is for the trophy. I play to win. Whatever tournaments and opportunities come up next, I will definitely want to win them. For this year, the manifestation is to win the IPL. I just want to put it out there in the universe that I want to lift the trophy. There are going to be small steps to reach that stage. It will definitely take a team effort and everyone has to think in that direction; only then can you achieve that,” Iyer said while speaking on JioStar’s ‘Believe’.
With Shreyas Iyer at the helm, the franchise will be hoping to maintain consistency and establish themselves as serious contenders in the race for the title.
