On Tuesday, March 25, Gujarat Titans locked horns against Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The hosts won the toss and opted to field first. PBKS, batting first, lost a wicket early, but Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer were unfazed by that. 

Talking about Iyer, the right-hand batter is playing his first match as PBKS captain. He started the innings in style as he smashed Kagiso Rabada for a four. That was not all as Iyer decided to go for a maximum in the same over. 

Shreyas Iyer Takes On Kagiso Rabada

On the 5th ball of the 4th over, Rabada bowled a wayward delivery down the leg-side, to which Iyer channelised his inner Suryakumar Yadav and whacked the South African for a big shot. It can also be described as a tactical delivery as Rabada had placed a fielder at the ropes, but Iyer was confident of his shot and whacked it with full power and the ball too travelled over the fielder's head for a six. Watch the shot here.

Following the shot, the fans were electrified and were on their seats. Meanwhile, the camera also panned on Sai Sudharsan, who too was in awe of that hit. Talking about the ongoing match, the Kings are going strongly and are 94/2 after 8 overs.
