IPL 2025: Shreyas Iyer tastes a piece of history after leading PBKS to 18-run win over CSK

Shreyas Iyer led Punjab Kings (PBKS) to an 18-run win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK), marking their third win of the IPL 2025. That puts PBKS in a solid fourth place on the points table with three wins out of four matches.

Shreyas Iyer, who Punjab Kings picked up for a hefty Rs 26.75 crore in the IPL 2025 mega-auction, has really been delivering and showing his value so far. Notably, PBKS hasn't made it to the playoffs since way back in 2014, so they're definitely hoping this could be the year they finally make it past the league stage.

Shreyas Iyer has scripted history and pulled off a big achievement after PBKS's crucial win over CSK. With this win, Iyer now stands alone as the only captain in the entire history of the IPL to have led three different teams to a victory against the formidable Yellow Army.

Back in IPL 2018, captain Iyer actually secured his very first win against CSK. He stepped into the captain's role for Delhi Capitals (DC) midway through that season and continued to lead the team until 2020. During his time as captain, Iyer guided DC to three separate victories over Chennai Super Kings.

Then, in the IPL 2022 mega-auction, Iyer moved to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and captained them for two seasons. During his leadership, KKR managed to secure one victory against CSK. Fast forward to the IPL 2024 season, and under Iyer's captaincy, Kolkata

Heading into the IPL 2025 mega-auction, Shreyas Iyer was a hot commodity, and Punjab Kings ended up snagging him for a hefty Rs 26.75 crore. They've started their season strong, kicking things off with a win against Gujarat Titans, and they seem to be gunning for the coveted IPL 2025 title now.
