Speaking on Match Centre Live Auction 2026, Punjab Kings Captain Shreyas Iyer on being present at the TATA IPL 2026 mini-auction: “There is no pressure as such. We had several meetings before coming here, and the way we have planned and prepared, everyone feels quite relaxed. We know exactly what we want.”
On the role of analytical data in auction strategy: “Analytical data definitely plays a big role. We have two analysts in our team, and the experience and depth of information they provide is immense. I don’t know everything that’s on the table yet, but once I sit down, I’ll get a clearer picture. I’m sure things are already buzzing. I can see it on the screen, and I’m really looking forward to the experience and what it has to offer.”
On superstitions before or during the auction: “I don’t have any superstitions. If I ever feel that doing something a certain way will bring luck, I prefer doing the opposite. I like breaking that jinx all the time.”
