Nehal Wadhera was deep in conversation with Shreyas Iyer at the Wankhede Stadium\u00a0ahead\u00a0of Punjab Kings\u2019 IPL clash against Mumbai Indians.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The youngster, who has struggled for form with just 27 runs in three innings, was keen to pick his captain\u2019s brain on rediscovering his rhythm.<\/p>\n

Shreyas, known for his calm demeanour, listened patiently before offering a simple yet impactful piece of advice. \u201cHe told me to play without any pressure and said that, as captain, it\u2019s his job to take the pressure,\u201d Wadhera said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat tells you a lot about him as a leader. He enjoys the pressure, and you can see that in his performances and his batting,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big thing for a captain to say this to a player,\u00a0that you just play your game, don\u2019t worry about the results\u00a0as\u00a0I\u2019m here to handle the pressure and take the team over the line. These are the kind of conversations we have in the dressing room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wadhera also highlighted the positive environment fostered by head coach Ricky Ponting, crediting him for instilling confidence in the squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just speaks positively. He doesn\u2019t have any negative words in his dictionary,\u201d Wadhera said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if a player gets out, he focuses on the positives. A batter doesn\u2019t fear failure because he knows he has the backing of the coach.\u201d<\/p>\n

With strong support from both captain and coach, Wadhera believes the environment within the Punjab Kings camp allows players the freedom to express themselves.<\/p>\n
