IPL 2026: Shreyas Iyer — My eye is on the trophy


Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shreyas Iyer said that his team will be aiming to clear the final hurdle and claim the franchise’s first title by winning the Indian Premier League 2026.

“Expectations are high, which is fun. I love the challenge. But the important thing is that whenever we step in, we have to win. My eye is on the trophy,” Shreyas said at the side’s jersey launch in Chandigarh on Friday.

PBKS finished first on the points table last season before losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the title decider in Ahmedabad. It was the second time that PBKS ended as the runner-up. It had lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in the final in 2014.

It is one of three teams, along with Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants, which is yet to lift the trophy.

Pacer Arshdeep Singh also attended the event and added that PBKS will only be buoyed by the expectations of its fans.

“When you feel the pressure, it is a privilege. It is a lot of fun when you get so much support from the crowd. When people cheer for you, you feel that 30,000 people are running in with you at that time. We will try our best to win all our home matches this year,” Arshdeep said.

The Kings will begin their campaign on March 31 against Gujarat Titans in New Chandigarh.
