Ashwin Credits Inglis and Wadhera for Match-Turning Contributions
Shreyas Iyer delivered a captain’s knock as Punjab Kings (PBKS) stormed into the IPL 2025 Final with a five-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians (MI). Chasing a challenging 204-run target, Iyer’s unbeaten 87 off just 41 balls guided Punjab into their second IPL final and first in eleven years. With this, he becomes the first captain to reach three IPL finals with three different franchises—Delhi Capitals (DC), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and now PBKS.
Josh Inglis’s Impactful Powerplay Assault
While Iyer’s heroics dominated headlines, Ravichandran Ashwin, speaking on his show Ash ki Baat, highlighted Josh Inglis as a game-changer. Inglis smashed 38 off 21 balls, including a crucial over against Jasprit Bumrah, where he scored 20 runs. Fans can now watch Ashwin’s IPL analysis for deeper insights.
Nehal Wadhera’s Crucial Partnership
Ashwin also praised Nehal Wadhera, who built an 84-run stand with Shreyas Iyer, ensuring PBKS stayed ahead of the run rate. His contribution may not dominate stats pages, but it’s critical for those tracking Nehal Wadhera’s IPL records.
Young Talent Priyansh Arya Makes His Mark
Ashwin described Priyansh Arya as a “runaway superstar” for scoring 20 off just 10 balls in the powerplay. His fearless start gave Punjab early momentum. Cricket fans can now follow Priyansh Arya’s PBKS bio to learn more.
