Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer was in sublime touch against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, on May 23 in IPL 2026. The right-handed batter played some breathtaking strokes during his unbeaten century that kept PBKS alive in the playoff race.

In the 10th over of the chase, Iyer showcased his class with a stunning boundary through backward point. Given ample width by the bowler, he waited patiently, played the ball late, and expertly beat the sweeper cover fielder in the deep. The timing and placement highlighted the confidence with which he approached the innings.

Later, on the final ball of the 13th over, Iyer entertained the crowd with a powerful slog sweep over deep mid-wicket. Sitting low to get underneath the delivery, he used his strong wrists and long reach to send the ball soaring into the stands for a massive six. Iyer eventually remained unbeaten on a magnificent century, guiding Punjab Kings to a crucial victory and keeping their IPL 2026 playoff hopes alive.
