Shreyas Iyer is set to lead his unbeaten Punjab Kings troops in match number 18 of the IPL 2025 season on Saturday, April 5. They will go up against a struggling Rajasthan Royals unit at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur, and the action will commence from 7:30 PM IST onwards.

Under the leadership of Shreyas, Punjab Kings has registered emphatic victories in each of their two games so far, defeating Gujarat Titans in a high-scoring cracker before walloping LSG in a seemingly easy run-chase. The captain and senior Indian batter himself led his team from the front on both occasions. The cricketer belted an unbeaten 97 from just 42 balls in the first match, and sealed Punjab Kings’ chase in Lucknow with a sharp 30-ball 52*.

Yet to be dismissed this IPL 2025 season, Shreyas Iyer currently finds himself at the brink of some rare cricketing records and milestones. Ahead of the match between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, here is a look at all the records the 30-year-old can attain in the highly-anticipated game.

1. Nearing 500 T20 Fours In Asia

Shreyas Iyer has accrued 513 fours in his T20 career so far from just 219 innings. Notably, the cricketer has recorded 494 of those boundaries while playing T20 matches in Asia alone. If he manages to hit six more fours, Iyer will complete 500 boundaries within the continent in the format. The elegant right-handed batter has clattered 71 of those fours while playing T20 international matches for Team India in Asian conditions.

2. On The Verge Of 50 IPL Catches

Shreyas Iyer has snared 49 catches so far in his 118-match IPL career since his debut in the 2015 edition of the tournament. With one more grab, Iyer will enter an elite club of players with 50 catches in the IPL. Notably, only five fielders have managed to breach the 100-catch club in tournament’s rich history.

3. Five Away From 100 T20 Catches

A veteran of 225 T20 matches, senior Indian batter Shreyas Iyer has collected 95 catches in the format. With five more catches, he will complete 100 grabs in his career. In T20Is for Team India, Iyer has taken 16 catches so far. Playing for teams like Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings and KKR, Iyer took 49 of those catches in IPL. The cricketer collected his remaining snares for teams like Mumbai and West Zone in domestic cricket.
