In the meantime, the entire staff and players were present at a get-together organised by the PBKS team. Musheer Khan, the young batter, was seen mimicking Iyer’s gait and social interactions during the event.
In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Gujarat Titans (GT) will face off in their opening match. For the first time ever, Shreyas Iyer will be leading PBKS. He has served as captain before, though. In the previous league season, he guided the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to victory. Additionally, he has received great praise for his captaincy in domestic competitions.
This is among the primary factors that led PBKS to purchase the player in the mega auction for INR 26.75 crores. The player has been handed the captaincy by the team, demonstrating their faith and trust in him. Seeing how Iyer manages his new staff will be interesting.
Coach Ricky Ponting was shown to be impressed by Musheer’s performance in a video that went popular on social media. He clapped for the player and gave a subtle smile and nod.
Iyer, meantime, was standing there giggling at Musheer Khan imitation of him.

Can Shreyas Iyer guide PBKS to their first IPL 2025 championship?
Shreyas Iyer is unquestionably among the league’s top captains. He began his career in this field in 2018 as the head coach of the Delhi Capitals (then known as the Daredevils). He continued after that. He assisted DC in making it to the 2020 Finals and the playoffs in 2019–21. Iyer went on to lead KKR to victory in 2024 after being appointed captain in 2022.
When discussing PBKS, the team may be shorthanded in both the top and middle overs. The bowling, meanwhile, seemed to be set up for them. However, PBKS’s head coach, Ricky Ponting, gets along well with Iyer and the two of them could lead the team to their first championship.
