Ricky Ponting, their head coach, has opened up about the amazing season PBKS has had so far, which has been led by a full team effort. In the 2025 edition, Punjab Kings have been having one of their best IPL seasons to yet. In addition to guaranteeing a top-two finish, the Shreyas Iyer-led team has qualified for the playoffs, giving them an extra edge in the latter stages of the prestigious competition.
Even though they are celebrating their league stage campaign with nine victories and four losses, Ricky Ponting has stated that it is not yet an accomplishment, despite the fact that they are presently leading the Points Table.
The former Australia captain’s statement suggests that PBKS will win the coveted trophy, which they have been aiming for for the past seventeen years.
“This is a tremendously talented crew, and it’s quite clear to me that they’re all on the same page and moving in the same direction. Even while it’s a huge accomplishment thus far, if you take a step back, we haven’t accomplished anything. The Daily Star quotes the 50-year-old as saying, “That’s the one thing I’ve been saying to the players since the moment we qualified,” at the news conference after the MI match.
“My goal was always to place in the top two, and we’ve achieved that now. The three-time World Cup champion continued, “It’s a really happy group, and we’ve enjoyed our time in each other’s company for the last ten weeks, but we still have another week to go.”
The dressing room has been excellent, which has greatly benefited us: Iyer
Shreyas Iyer, the middle-order batsman and captain of PBKS, was one of the team’s major stars this season. He has not only demonstrated excellent leadership qualities but has also been the team’s top run scorer. The captain of PBKS has publicly commended the vibe in the locker room, calling it “excellent” this season.
I believe that regardless of the circumstances, we must continue to have that relationship. It is simple to be critical of one another and backstab one another when you are feeling low. The captain said, “I think the dressing room has been excellent since game one, and that has been working really well for us.”
