Shreyas Iyer To Reunite With Ricky Ponting
Iyer, who is known for his batting and leadership abilities, was bought by Punjab Kings for a record-breaking Rs 26.75 crore in the November auction, making him the second-most expensive player of the season. At Punjab Kings, he will reunite with head coach Ricky Ponting, with whom he shared a successful stint at Delhi Capitals (DC), even guiding the team to the IPL 2020 final.
