Shreyas Iyer Eyes Consistency Following KKR’s Triumph Over DC in IPL 2024
The captain of KKR teÂam, Shreyas Iyer, praised his playeÂrs after their big win against Delhi teÂam. Speaking about the victory, Iyer reÂmarked:
“Sunny’s job is to go out there and free his arms and see to it that we have a great powerplay, even if he doesn’t, we’ve got other batsmen who can take on the bowlers and see to it we get a commendable total by the end of the powerplay.
“He (Raghuvanshi) was fearless right from ball one, and when you see him at training, he’s top notch in terms of analyzing the situation, he’s a smart batsman when it comes to leading the situation.”

Shreyas also remarked about his bowlers and his team’s success in all three games thus far, saying:
“Great to see all the bowlers stepping up at the right time and taking responsibility, owning their yards. The way they stood for each other is what we thrive on. He (Vaibhav) was sensational, although he went for two fours the first over, the way he came back and took crucial wickets.
“Hopefully, we continue with the same momentum. You always got to be down to earth, especially in the IPL.”
