Lockie Ferguson Backs Shreyas Iyer’s Leadership Despite PBKS Bowling Woes

Shreyas Iyer’s maiden IPL ton keeps Punjab Kings’ playoff hopes alive

Punjab Kings pacer Lockie Ferguson has praised skipper Shreyas Iyer for his calm leadership and consistent temperament, crediting him as a major factor behind PBKS’ strong IPL 2026 campaign.

Ferguson said Iyer’s ability to handle pressure and trust his players has created a positive impact across the squad. He also acknowledged head coach Ricky Ponting for building confidence and maintaining a strong team environment. Punjab Kings currently top the points table with six wins in eight matches. However, their bowling remains a concern, having conceded five 200-plus totals and managing the fewest wickets this season.

Ferguson remains confident the team will improve execution and bounce back strongly against Gujarat Titans.
