Both Shreyas and Ricky sir never spoke anything negative after first ball dismissal: Priyansh Arya | Ipl News

Published by Parlour News

Punjab Kings batter Priyansh Arya, who burst on to the Indian Premier League (IPL) stage this season after scoring a blistering 47 off 23 in the first match against Gujarat Titans, couldn’t follow up on that innings, scoring just 8 and 0 in the next two matches against Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals. But the youngster roared back into form with a scintillating century against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday. Speaking about how he kept up his confidence during that 2-match lean patch, Arya said that advice from head coach Ricky Ponting and skipper Shreyas Iyer helped a lot. “Ricky sir gave me confidence by saying that anyone can be out first ball. He told me hit it out of the park if you get the same ball,” he said in a selection media interaction. Story continues below this ad “Ricky sir always keeps telling me to improve my pull shot. Have not worked with him on the technical front, we talk only about mindset,” he added. He also revealed how the chat with …

Punjab Kings suffer first defeat of season as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag power Rajasthan Royals to winning total | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s furious 67 and Riyan Parag’s crafty 43 propelled Rajasthan Royals to 205/4 before Jofra Archer’s stunning double-strike in the first over deflated the chase. On a pitch that got increasingly slower, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s violent start had set up Rajasthan before Riyan Parag ensured they would finish strongly with a well-composed knock tailored to the track. Much depended on Shreyas Iyer in the chase to tackle the vagaries of the pitch, but Jofra Archer took him out in the first over. Nehal Wadhera and Glenn Maxwell tried a heist with a 88-run stand, but Punjab Kings succumbed to their first defeat this edition, losing by 50 runs. Archer’s stunning double strike Such is his rhythmically graceful action, that Archer raises an illusion that there is no ball in his hands as he delivers. There is a lack of effort, no visual jerk of effort at release or audible grunt – just a smooth pizzaz about it all. Everything is in straight lines – the arm, the ball, the tramline but with a flip of …

‘Rolls-Royce just stayed in third gear’: PBKS coach Ricky Ponting on skipper Shreyas Iyer’s half century vs LSG | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting lauded skipper Shreyas Iyer for his well-paced half century in the match against Lucknow Super Giants, saying that the former KKR captain was like a ‘Rolls-Royce in third gear’. Iyer got his 50 off the last ball of Punjab’s chase when he smashed a six to overhaul LSG’s 172-run target in 16.2 overs for the loss of two wickets. “Skipper (Iyer) did it easy again. Rolls-Royce just stayed in third gear for most of the day. Didn’t have to go any harder than that. Just steers the ship home. You haven’t got an average yet,” Ponting said during the team meeting following the big victory. Iyer is yet to be dismissed in IPL 2025, having notched up an unbeaten 97 in the opening game against Gujarat Titans. He is currently the second-highest run-getter in the season with 149 runs.

‘You’re trying to, you know, show off. We know what Virat Kohli did….’: Sunil Gavaskar on notebook celebration of LSG bowler Digvesh Rathi | Ipl News

Published by Webster

While Lucknow Super Giants spinner Digvesh Rathi was fined 25 percent of his match fee and one demerit point by BCCI for the notebook celebration after removing Punjab Kings opener Priyansh Arya during the IPL match at Lucknow last evening, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has criticised the young star about his act. Rathi’s notebook celebration, once made famous by West Indies bowler Kesrick Williams after taking Virat Kohli’s wicket in 2017, saw Gavaskar terming the celebration as a ‘show off’ and even talking about Virat Kohli’s response to Williams later in the series. “I can understand the celebration if the wicket comes after the batsman hit a boundary or a six in the previous ball. As a bowler, you’ve got six deliveries. So if you got five dot balls and get a wicket of the sixth, then you do something like that, it’s not understandable. But all these gestures mean that you don’t expect to get a wicket. And now that you’ve got a wicket, you’re trying to, you know, show off. We know …

‘Batsmen do not trust their defence much nowadays’: Punjab Kings Arshdeep Singh on his bowling plans | Ipl News

Published by Parlour News

With five wickets in two matches, Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh has been among the wickets in the early part of this year’s Indian Premier League. The 26-year-old, who had finished with 19 wickets with an bowling average of 26.08 in last year’s IPL, picked up a wicket yet again in his first over when he removed Mitchell Marsh of Lucknow Super Giants in the team’s away game at Lucknow on Tuesday evening. Kings won the match by eight wickets and Singh, who took three wickets in the match, talked about how batsmen not trusting their defence helps his case. “As you know nowadays, batsmen do not trust their defence much. They just want to go after the ball. So, I had two slips and a deep cover. So just in case the batsman swings and the ball goes up in the air, there is a fielder for me and I am attacking as well with two slips. The wicket at the end got better and I believe you have to stay till the end,” …

Punjab Kings bowlers get regular wickets on the red-soil pitch before Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer and Nehal Wadhera muscle through the chase for a routine eight-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants. After a lot of talk about the tournament being loaded in favour of the batsmen, Punjab Kings bowlers capitalised on the red-soil pitch at the Ekana Stadium, which had a reasonable amount of grass cover and offered something for the bowlers. With an easy subsequent chase, Shreyas Iyer’s side stormed to an eight-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday. Wickets at the right time The varied strengths of Punjab’s bowling line-up, and skipper Iyer’s utilisation of the resources at his disposal, allowed his team to take crucial wickets at the right time, choking the home team’s line-up in the process.

The Punjab seamer foxed Mitch Marsh by hitting the deck with a ball …

IPL 2025: Uncapped, unfazed – How Priyansh Arya made a strong early impression for PBKS on debut | Ipl News

Published by Webster

It’s early stages in the 18th season of Indian Premier League, but a strong early trend that has emerged is how uncapped Indian players have made their presence felt. One of those who have caught the eye is Punjab Kings’ Priyansh Arya. The 24-year-old from Delhi came in for special praise from PBKS head coach Ricky Ponting after their side’s 11-run win in a high-scoring contest in Ahmedabad on Tuesday against Gujarat Titans. “I reckon we set the tone with a guy playing in his first IPL game… Priyansh, the way he started today,” Ponting said in his dressing room debrief speech. Priyansh, taking strike on his debut against a star-studded bowling lineup, scored a brisk 23-ball 47 with seven fours (the most on the night) and two sixes. In fact, Ponting had identified Priyansh as a player to watch out for, even before a ball was bowled in the tournament. “He is a very special potential opening batsman for us in the tournament,” the former Australian captain had said in an event in the …

‘You were the one that changed the game’: Ricky Ponting heaps praises on PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer for Vijaykumar Vyshak decision | Ipl News

Punjab Kings coach Ricky Ponting lauded captain Shreyas Iyer for his outstanding 97-run knock against the Gujarat Titans, reserving special praise for his decision to bring on Vijaykumar Vyshak which the Australian said was the turning point of the match. Vyshak conceded 10 from his first two overs before yielding 18 from the 19th over with GT needing 27 off the last over. The Shubman Gill-led unit ultimately failed to get the required runs and PBKS won by 11 runs. “I was sitting there, I was like, they need 13-14 runs an over. Sent the message out to Shreyas, asking what do you want to do? He said straight away, just get Vyshak out there. He’ll nail a couple of overs at Yorkers and we will close the game. And you were the one that changed the game, so congratulations,” Ponting said to Iyer in a vide posted on the PBKS X handle. In the match, Iyer shone with an unbeaten 97 as Punjab Kings beat Gujarat Titans by 11 runs. Chasing 244 to win, …

‘It’s set a nice example for everyone’: Aakash Chopra lauds PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer for selfless batting vs GT | Ipl News

Published by Parlour News

Former Indian cricketer and commentator, Aakash Chopra has lauded Punjab Kings’s captain Shreyas Iyer for his selfless batting and for not caring for his personal milestone, putting the team’s needs ahead of him. PBKS started their Indian Premier League 2025 campaign with a thrilling 11-run win over Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday where skipper Iyer led from the front with his flamboyant unbeaten 97 in just 42 deliveries. Iyer was poised to score his maiden IPL century when he reached 97 by the end of the 19th over but missed out on getting over the milestone after Shashank Singh played all six deliveries of the 20th over. Shashank scored five boundaries, taking 23 off the last over bowled by Mohammed Siraj which helped Punjab post a mammoth 243/5. “Iyer was only one hit away from his first IPL century. Didn’t get the strike thereafter. Didn’t ask for it either. And it’s set a nice example for everyone,” Chopra posted on X after the match. “T20 cricket is all about …
