"We conceded a few more runs but I am glad it happened at the start of season"- PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer after the loss vs RR in IPL 2025

At the post-match presentation, Punjab skipper Shreyas Iyer reflected on the loss against Rajasthan Royals, saying:

"We conceded a few more runs but I am glad it happened at the start of the season. It was s decent pitch to bat, it was stopping a bit but I felt we could have stitched a few more partnerships rather than going ultra-aggressive. Obviously as you see there wasn't any dew, we can't be blaming on that."

Iyer continued:

"We have to go back to the drawing board and work out what didn't go our way and analyse especially why we lost two wickets in quick succession. Wadhera has been phenomenal, he took some time and analysed the situation. This is the third match, it's just the start of the tournament and I am glad it happened early on. We have to see the videos and come back stronger."

SRH will host GT at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday (April 6) in the upcoming match of IPL 2025.
