"I love such big occasions"- Shreyas Iyer after his POTM performance in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2025 vs MI

PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer was adjudged 'Player of the Match' for his blistering knock in the chase. Reflecting on his performance and the team's win in the post-match presentation, Iyer said:

"I love such big occasions and I always say that bigger the vision, the calmer you are. I was focusing on my breathing. No as I mentioned before this IPL game, everyone needs to be assertive and needs to show the intent. It was stupendous and everyone was getting the timing going. I took some time to get in."

On making a strong comeback after losing Qualifier 1, Iyer continued:

"Just throw the hiccup in the bin. One match cannot define as a team. I just let them be, I don't ask too much of them. I love their fearless attitude and love their ideas. On such big occasions, it's important to gain more experience from these."
