The Punjab bowlers, spearheaded by Arshdeep Singh, effectively restricted Lucknow to a total of 171 runs for the loss of 7 wickets, setting up a manageable chase for their batting lineup. This victory not only boosts Punjab`s standing in the tournament but also highlights the team`s growing prowess under Iyer`s leadership.
Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar commended Iyer`s captaincy, emphasizing that he deserves more recognition for his pivotal role in Kolkata Knight Riders` title-winning campaign in 2024. Meanwhile, the cricketing world awaits the return of Jasprit Bumrah, who is still recovering from a lower back injury, with his bowling intensity being carefully monitored.
