Hit 39 sixes in a season.

Punjab Kings have made it to the final by defeating Mumbai Indians in Qualifier-2. Shreyas hit five fours and eight sixes in this match. With this, Shreyas became the captain to hit the most sixes in a season of IPL. He has hit 39 sixes in IPL 2025. Earlier, the record of 38 sixes was in the name of Virat Kohli, which he hit in 2016 while captaining RCB.

Also broke Maxwell's record.

Shreyas Iyer has also become the batsman to hit the most sixes in a season for Punjab Kings. He has broken Glenn Maxwell's record. Maxwell played 16 matches for Punjab in 2014 and scored 552 runs with the help of 36 sixes. Shreyas has scored 603 runs with the help of 39 sixes.

Virat's dream should not be shattered.

This stormy form of Shreyas Iyer is scaring the fans of RCB. Everyone knows that if Shreyas comes into his rhythm, he can destroy any bowling lineup. If Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium becomes witness to his stormy innings, then Virat Kohli's dream of winning the IPL trophy can also be shattered. Kohli has been with RCB since 2008 but is away from the title. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer won the title for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2024 as captain.

Dhoni's record is also in danger
If Shreyas Iyer wins the final on Tuesday, he will become the first captain to win the IPL title with two different teams. Not only this, then he will become the third captain to win consecutive IPL titles after MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. Dhoni won the title as captain of CSK in 2010 and 2011, while Rohit led MI to consecutive IPL titles in 2019 and 2020.
