New Delhi, April 2: Brad Haddin, the assistant coach of Punjab Kings, has provided a significant update regarding captain Shreyas Iyer’s injury. Haddin confirmed that Iyer does not have a fracture in his wrist. However, he mentioned that there is still some swelling present. The coach expressed hope that Iyer will be fit to play in the match against Chennai Super Kings on April 3.
According to ‘Cricbuzz’, the assistant coach stated that the absence of a fracture means Iyer could take the field against Chennai Super Kings. Iyer sustained the injury during a match against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday while chasing a target of 163 runs.
While standing at the non-striker’s end, Iyer was struck on the wrist by a powerful shot from Cooper Connolly. The impact was so severe that Iyer was seen writhing in pain. Despite receiving treatment on the field, he returned to bat but was dismissed for 18 runs on the very next ball.
The injury to Shreyas Iyer has raised concerns among the entire Punjab Kings squad. As a key player in the top order and the team’s captain, Iyer played a crucial role in leading the team to the finals last season. This is why fans of Punjab Kings are eagerly hoping for his swift recovery.
Punjab Kings kicked off IPL 2026 with a victory, defeating Gujarat Titans by three wickets in a thrilling encounter. Cooper Connolly starred with the bat, scoring a remarkable 72 runs off 44 balls, helping secure the win. He hit five fours and five sixes during his innings. Additionally, Prabhsimran Singh contributed 37 runs off 24 balls. In bowling, Vijaykumar Vaishak took three wickets for 34 runs, while Yuzvendra Chahal claimed two wickets for just 28 runs in four overs.
