Punjab Kings (PBKS) skipper Shreyas Iyer has revealed his batting position for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. The IPL 2024-winning captain confirmed that he will bat at number three as he aims to use the opportunity to make a comeback to the Indian T20 side. Notably, Iyer recently played a key role for India at No. 4 during their unbeaten campaign to win the Champions Trophy 2025 edition in Dubai.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In IPL 2024, when he led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to their third IPL title, Iyer mostly batted at No. 4, though he occasionally dropped down to No. 5 or No. 6 based on the team\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n

Shreyas Iyer Clear About Batting At No. 3 In IPL 2025<\/span><\/h2>\n

Shreyas Iyer said he is clear about batting at No. 3 in IPL 2025, aiming to cement his spot in India\u2019s T20 side and added that he only needs coach Ricky Ponting\u2019s approval for the role.<\/p>\n

“We already know that IPL is an integral part of Indian cricket. And If I would want to mark myself at some position in T20, it would be No. 3. And that’s what I’m focusing at. I wouldn’t say that we are planning and thinking about what number I will be batting,” Iyer said at a press conference ahead of the IPL 2025 season.<\/p>\n

“This time I’m quite clear about that position. And I’m going to be focusing on that number. As long as the coach approves of me.”<\/p>\n

Iyer is set to reunite with coach Ricky Ponting, with whom he enjoyed a successful stint at Delhi Capitals, guiding the team to playoffs from 2019 to 2021, including a runner-up finish in 2020. Punjab Kings shelled out INR 26.75 crore (approximately USD 3.18 million) to acquire Iyer at the IPL mega auction last year, making him the second-most expensive player in IPL auction history.<\/p>\n

PBKS will open their IPL 2025 edition against Gujarat Titans (GT) on March 25 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
