New Delhi: Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra was full of praise for Shreyas Iyer’s innings of unbeaten 97 off 42 balls in Punjab Kings’ 11-run victory over Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2025 opener at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Chopra highlighted Iyer’s ability to dominate the middle overs, particularly against spin, calling him India’s best batter in that phase of the game.
“It was just clean, crisp hitting—especially against spin. I believe he is the best Indian batter in the middle overs when it comes to taking down spinners. While most batters rely on stepping out to generate momentum before hitting over the top, Shreyas doesn’t need to. This makes it incredibly difficult for bowlers to predict his next move,” Chopra said on JioHotstar. IANS
