In PBKS’s IPL 2025 match against LSG, they achieved victory through their captain Shreyas Iyer who scored a great half-century. After winning the match PBKS utilised social media outlets to praise their captain’s performance as they poked fun at LSG captain Rishabh Pant. At the IPL 2025 mega auction PBKS selected Pant for Rs 27 crore and the purchased face revealed feeling relieved about escaping the team selection. The team posted a witty message underscoring that their auction concerns had been resolved right after securing their victory.
PBKS Responds To Rishabh Pant’s Auction Comment With A Playful Jibe
Rishabh Pant disclosed his main worry during the IPL 2025 auction revolved around Punjab Kings picking him up because he stated “Mera ek hi tension tha, wo tha Punjab.” After PBKS beat Lucknow Super Giants at the cricket match they released an amusing response. Punjab Kings revealed through a video featuring Shreyas Iyer that “Tension toh auction mein hi khatam ho gayi thi.” because they had chosen to acquire Iyer instead of Pant.

Shreyas Iyer Justifies PBKS Investment While Pant Struggles For Form
PBKS justly invested Rs 26.75 crore into Shreyas Iyer above Pant since the captain has delivered outstanding performances. The PBKS team under Shreyas Iyer has achieved consecutive victories which led to their second-place position in the league yet Rishabh Pant of LSG who was acquired for 27 crore failed to demonstrate solid performance in IPL 2025. In IPL 2025 Pant scored only 17 runs across three matches yet Iyer showed near-perfection with his hitting 149 runs across two games despite not being out. The batsman continues his Default triumphs because of match-winning performances such as his 97 against Gujarat Titans and 52 against LSG.
