Captain Spotlight:
As Punjab Kings (PBKS) face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 31 of TATA IPL 2025, one key face-off could play a crucial role: Shreyas Iyer vs Andre Russell.
Both players have been part of many close encounters, and Russell’s ability to pick up wickets in the middle overs could be key to disrupting Punjab’s batting flow—especially if he gets Shreyas Iyer early.

Despite being in top form this season, Shreyas Iyer has struggled against Andre Russell historically. In their 9 IPL meetings, Russell has dismissed Iyer five times, conceding only 63 runs in 54 balls. That’s a batting average of just 12.6, which is quite low for a batter of Iyer’s class.
With a strike rate of 116.66, Iyer has clearly found it difficult to attack Russell’s pace and clever variations. This suggests that if Russell is brought in right when Iyer settles, KKR could break Punjab’s momentum.
