Internet desk. The bridges of praise of Shreyas Iyer, who played an unbeaten innings of 87 runs against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 qualifier 2 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, have been covered worldwide. Thanks to his efforts, Punjab Kings, chasing the target of 204 runs, won one over remaining and reached the IPL final for the first time in 11 years and now it is far from winning his first title. However, former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin rejected the ongoing discussion about Iyer, as he pointed not to one but three players, who had a real impact while chasing the target, but did not get the credit.

Apart from Iyer, 3 more players took the name …

Speaking on his YouTube show Ash’s talk, Ashwin admitted that Iyer played an important role in the run chase and also put boundaries when needed, but claimed that his popularity also did not get the credit for the victory due to his popularity. Ashwin was highly impressed by Jasprit Bumrah’s 20 -run over against Bumrah, which stopped the Indian star from taking wickets in Powerplay and damaged Mumbai’s initial plan to defend 203 runs in a rain -interrupted match. He said that I definitely appreciate Shreyas for some shots but English and Vadhera should also have been given credit.

The game turned into an over of Bumrah …

English played a 20 -run over against Bumrah in Powerplay. He called Bumrah to prevent runs from scoring runs and take wickets. But not only did he get wickets, but he also gave 20 runs. Ashwin said that that one over changed the attitude of the game."The Australian player scored 38 runs from 21 balls, after which Vadhera scored 48 runs off 29 balls, pursuing the Punjab target. However, Ashwin said that Mumbai scored at least 15–20 runs on the pitch, which was mentioned by Australian veteran Matthew Hayden at mid-inning analysis on Star Sports.
