“All smiles as @PunjabKingsIPL make it to the final after a SUPER TEAM EFFORT led by our dynamic sarpanch @ShreyasIyer15, our passionate coach @RickyPonting & the entire coaching staff & everyone at PBKS. Today will be incomplete without mentioning #Lockie Ferguson, Glenn Maxwell & #Marco Jansen for making this final possible.

The group’s path to the ultimate was carved by way of an exhilarating Qualifier 2 in Ahmedabad, the place captain #Shreyas Iyer powered the chase with an unbeaten 87 off simply 41 deliveries. Featuring eight large sixes, his knock guided Punjab to a five-wicket win over #Mumbai Indians, chasing down a stiff 204-run goal and securing their first ultimate look in years.

Following the tense end, Shreyas maintained his composure till a heartfelt on-field second noticed him sharing an embrace with Preity — a scene that shortly resonated with followers and symbolized the deep-rooted connection between the co-owner and her group.
