Grok predicts how many runs Shreyas Iyer will score in today's PBKS vs RR IPL 2025 match

Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shreyas Iyer has made an excellent start to his IPL 2025 campaign - both as a batter and a leader. While PBKS have won both the matches they have played so far, Shreyas has contributed 149 runs in two innings at a strike rate of 206.94, smashing unbeaten fifties in both his visits to the crease.

The right-handed batter was named the Player of the Match for his unbeaten 97 off 42 balls against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In PBKS' previous match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, he contributed 52 not out off just 30 balls.

Shreyas will be looking forward to completing a hat-trick of half-centuries when Punjab face Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Mullanpur on Saturday, April 5. Ahead of the PBKS vs RR clash, we asked Grok to predict how many runs Shreyas will score in the game. Taking into account various factors like pitch, bowling, and batter's form, the AI chatbot backed the PBKS captain to score around 55 runs.

Grok also predicted that the Punjab captain can score between 40 and 60 runs if he faces 30-40 balls. The AI chatbot added that if the right-handed batter faces 50-60 balls, he can score 70-80 runs or even more. On the contrary, it also predicted that if Rajasthan's bowlers strike early, Shreyas could score less than 30.
