Shreyas Iyer is enjoying a great maiden season with the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Along with his captaincy brilliance in leading his new team, Iyer has been a reliable performer with the bat as well. Having scored 514 runs in 14 innings so far, Shreyas Iyer is averaging 51.40 at a strike rate of 171.91 in the 2025 season. His highest score this season has been a selfless unbeaten 97 against Gujarat Titans in the season opener, where he narrowly missed out on his century.
Against his upcoming opponents Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Iyer has a rather modest record amassing 406 runs in 16 innings. While he has scored four half-centuries against the Bangalore franchise, he is yet to register his maiden century against them. With a high score of 67 against RCB, Iyer has been dismissed for a duck on two occasions previously. He averages 27.07 at a strike-rate of 120.83 against RCB.

RCB vs PBKS Qualifier 1 IPL 2025 preview
The IPL 2025 season has now reached its business end as only the top four teams remain in the playoffs. In the first playoffs match, which is the Qualifier 1, RCB is set to take on PBKS at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh international cricket stadium, Chandigarh on May 29, 2025. Both the teams, who were drawn level on points after the commencement of the league stage matches are now set to face off each other in what will be an exciting fixture.
PBKS, lead by Shreyas Iyer, has reached the playoffs for the first time since 2014 and a win tonight would directly take them to their second ever IPL final. RCB, on the other hand, who have reached the final on three occasions, are also yet to win the coveted trophy, and a win tonight could bring them closer to it this season.
