Punjab Kings’ co-owner Ness Wadia planted a peck on captain Shreyas Iyer’s cheeks after he led the team to the IPL 2025 finals. However, the skipper wasn’t amused and wiped it off quickly with a napkin.

PBKS beat Mumbai Indians by 5 wickets in Qualifier 2 to advance to the ultimate final of the IPL 2025 season. Despite MI getting 203 runs on the board in the first inning, Shreyas pulled off a big heist with a solid unbeaten knock of 87 off 41 balls.

Moreover, scenes were ecstatic back in the team hotel as PBKS players and owners celebrated the victory by cutting a cake.

In an awkward moment caught on camera, PBKS co-owner Ness Wadia cut the cake back in the team hotel and fed it to captain Shreyas Iyer. Moreover, Wadia appreciated Iyer’s contributions by planting a gentle kiss on his cheeks.

However, Iyer took a napkin and wiped his cheeks off, a sign of him perhaps being displeased with the gesture. The video has since been going viral on social media, leading to wild theories and speculations behind Iyer’s gesture.

That being said, PBKS’ road to its maiden title has reached its final stage. They’ll meet RCB in the IPL 2025 final scheduled for June 3 in Ahmedabad. The winning franchise will finally end their trophy-less run in IPL history.

Shreyas Gears Up For IPL Final

In Qualifier 2, Shreyas Iyer led from the front with a sensational 87* off 41 balls as Punjab Kings chased down 204 to stun Mumbai Indians. He praised his team’s intent and composure but made it clear the job isn't done yet. “The bigger the occasion, the calmer you stay,” Iyer said, adding that Punjab are focused on the final.
