"Job won't be done without Shreyas scoring runs"- Aakash Chopra on PBKS's trump card ahead of their IPL 2025 Qualifier 1 match vs RCB

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra recently previewed the PBKS team ahead of their upcoming IPL 2025 match against RCB in Qualifier 1. He opined that Shreyas Iyer's battle with Josh Hazlewood could decide the fate of the Punjab side.

Speaking about the potential face-off in a video on his YouTube channel 'Aakash Chopra', the cricketer-turned-commentator said:

"The contests that could decide the fate of this match from Punjab's point of view - one will be Shreyas Iyer vs Josh Hazlewood, if he is playing. The match will progress properly, whether it's Josh Inglis or the two openers, but the job won't be done without Shreyas scoring runs, and who can get him out? The way Josh Hazlewood dismissed him, and Jofra Archer also dismissed him at this ground, your focus will be on him."

On another interesting duel during the match, Chopra further added:

"In bowling, Arshdeep Singh vs Virat Kohli. Just like I am talking about Shreyas Iyer as a big player in a big match, there is no one bigger than Virat Kohli. You can pick any knockout game, the World Cup final, the semi-final we lost against England, or the Pakistan game, whenever the chips are down or you need somebody to fire, that's Virat Kohli."
