If I had gone towards third man, it would have cleared easily. But I tried to hit it straight, and that’s why I missed the shot,” Sooryavanshi said in the mid-innings break.

This was also Iyer’s maiden Indian Premier League century and he took 51 balls in an innings studded with 11 fours and 5 sixes to reach there and help his team defeat LSG and keep their play-offs hopes alive.

Before this ton, Iyer’s highest score in the IPL was 97* in 2025 against Gujarat Titans in his debut match for his new franchise Punjab Kings after he was bought for …

At long last An entire season frittered in front of the home crowd before DC found their most feasible opening combination. The right-handed pairing of Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul didn’t provide the desired results on a consistent basis and also deprived them of proven middle-order disruptors.
