Shreyas Iyer took only 10 balls for his 28 on Friday (April 26) in Match 42 of IPL 2024 between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
The KKR skipper led by example after Sunil Narine and Phil Salt gave the side a blistering start in front of their home fans.
The highlight of his brisk stay was the way he smashed Sam Curran, his counterpart, left, right, and centre during the 18th over of KKR's innings.
Shreyas' carnage began with a massive six over deep square leg on the third ball of the over. Then, on the next ball, Iyer freed his arms to perfectly place a four through extra cover.

He finished things off with a bang, smashing two blistering sixes on consecutive deliveries to complete 22 runs off four deliveries.
