Shreyas Iyer Statement on Loss: In IPL 2026, the match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians in Dharamshala proved to be very exciting. Punjab Kings had lost four consecutive matches and had come with the intention of strengthening their claim in the race for the playoffs by defeating MI. However, Mumbai Indians defeated PBKS by 6 wickets. Punjab Kings had to face defeat for the fifth consecutive match in IPL 2026. After the match, Shreyas Iyer’s pain has spilled over and he has given a big statement regarding the remaining matches.

What did Shreyas Iyer say after the defeat?

Shreyas Iyer looked disappointed after the defeat against MI. Instead of blaming the defeat on the team’s poor performance, he praised Mumbai Indians’ star batsman Tilak Verma. He said, ‘It is very difficult to digest this defeat. I don’t want to blame anyone, because from cricket point of view it was a good match. Tilak Verma played brilliantly and was choosing his shots thoughtfully. He played fielding properly.

Shreyas Iyer further said, ‘He has to be given credit for this. At one time we felt that the score would reach only 170-180 runs but after that the momentum has changed for us. After the 16-17th over, the sixes turned the momentum in our favor and we were successful in scoring 200 runs.

‘We have to win both matches’

PBKS had set a target of 200 runs, which Mumbai Indians successfully chased in 19.5 overs. The next two matches of Punjab Kings are going to be against RCB and LSG.
