Delhi: Star batsman Shreyas Iyer has done a unique feat in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has so far become the first captain to reach three different franchises (Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders and now Punjab Kings) to qualifier 1. He achieved this achievement after a 7 -wicket win of Punjab Indians (Mi) after 7 wickets of Punjab Kings (PBKS).

In this match played in Jaipur, Punjab Kings bowled first after losing the toss. Mumbai Indians scored 184/7 thanks to Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliant half -century innings. Punjab’s debut was very good, chasing the target. Opener Priyansh Arya and Josh English, who came to bat at number three, shared a 109 -run partnership in 59 balls, which decided the match. After this, captain Shreyas Iyer scored an unbeaten 26 in 16 balls and took the team to the target. Punjab achieved this target with 9 balls remaining.

Punjab Kings have topped the points table with 19 points. Now only one match of the group stage remains.

Players captaining teams in qualifiers 1 most often in IPL:
