Punjab Kings Run Riot Against SRH as Shreyas Iyer, Young Guns Dismantle Shami & Co.
What a day it was in Hyderabad! If you’re a Punjab Kings fan, you’re probably still buzzing from the absolute carnage PBKS unleashed on the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers today. Match 27 of IPL 2025 turned into a batting masterclass — and at the heart of it, Shreyas Iyer led from the front with a knock that was both classy and brutal.
So, it all kicked off with PBKS winning the toss and choosing to bat first — a move that set the tone for the onslaught. Right from the very first over, Prabhsimran Singh made his intentions clear. He took on Mohammed Shami — yes, the Mohammed Shami — for three consecutive boundaries. That aggression flowed through the innings, with young Priyansh Arya joining the party, absolutely tearing apart Shami in the third over: two sixes, a four, and then another maximum from Prabhsimran. 23 runs in one over — pure madness!

In the powerplay alone, Punjab smashed 89 runs for the loss of just one wicket. That’s when the crowd realized — this wasn’t going to be a regular innings.
And then entered the maestro — Shreyas Iyer. Calm, composed, but deadly with the bat. He took the attack to every SRH bowler, especially in the middle overs. A hat-trick of fours in one over? Yep, that happened. He brought up his fifty in just 22 balls and finished with a scintillating 82 off 36. Captain's knock, no doubt. Even Maxwell chipped in briefly, but it was Shreyas who kept the engine roaring.
Harshal Patel and Eshan Malinga tried to pull things back for SRH — picking up crucial wickets in the middle — but it was already too late. Despite losing a few quick wickets in the latter stages, PBKS didn’t slow down. Marcus Stoinis came in and added the finishing touches with some crisp boundaries, helping Punjab post a mammoth 245/6.
And let’s not forget, Shami — one of India’s most seasoned bowlers — ended with figures of 0 for 63 in just 3.4 overs. That’s how ruthless PBKS were today. SRH’s bowling just had no answers. The fielding? Shaky, with dropped chances and boundary fumbles — it only made things worse.
For SRH, the questions are piling up. Their once-dangerous bowling unit has lost bite, and the batting hasn’t clicked this season. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan — all struggling with form. Klaasen has been quiet. And now, their net run rate is deep in the red.
On the flip side, Punjab Kings look sharp, hungry, and confident. Shreyas Iyer is not just scoring runs — he’s commanding the side with conviction. Their mix of youth and experience is finally blending into something dangerous. If they keep this momentum going, PBKS might just be one of the most feared teams this season.
Hyderabad witnessed fireworks today, but not the kind the home fans were hoping for. PBKS stole the show, and they did it in absolute style.
