"We are not able to capitalize on the starts that we are getting"- Shreyas Iyer after PBKS' dismal loss vs RCB in IPL 2025

At the post-match presentation, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer reviewed his team's performance and said:

"I feel, if you see, majority of our batsmen, they love to go from ball one. We are not able to capitalize on the starts that we are getting this IPL season. We were not able to set a total, when the wicket is getting slower and slower. Even in the middle phase when we thought we could take on the bowlers. The bowlers have been doing a tremendous job. Credit to Virat and boys, they played well."

"They have given us brilliant starts in IPL. Few of the middle order batsmen need to step up, need to take the bull by the horn. I'm in a great mindspace. Just that I need to cross ten runs. I don't want to give reasons. Just need to be free-flowing. We've got six days of break, it' important to go back to the drawing board. It's important to assess the body as well, we have been traveling a lot," Iyer added.
