In a thrilling encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the ongoing IPL 2024, fans witnessed an enthralling display of cricketing prowess. Amidst the flurry of boundaries and sixes, one moment stood out as KKR's skipper, Shreyas Iyer, departed after a blazing cameo.

Batting first after Punjab elected to field, KKR had a solid start with contributions from Phil Salt and Sunil Narine. However, it was Shreyas Iyer's arrival that added impetus to their innings. With 28 runs off just 10 balls, Shreyas showcased his batting prowess, guiding KKR towards a formidable total.

But cricket is a game of uncertainties, and in the 19th over, Shreyas's innings came to an end courtesy of a well-directed delivery from Arshdeep.

The departure of Shreyas Iyer didn't dampen KKR's spirits as they continued to pile on the runs, reaching a commendable total of 262 for 6 in 20 overs.

Despite Shreyas's departure, KKR's middle-order batsmen ensured that the team maintained its momentum, setting a challenging target for Punjab Kings.
