On April 6, 2025, during a crucial IPL match at Eden Gardens, Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shreyas Iyer opted to bat first after winning the toss against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). PBKS managed a modest 157-run total, which KKR comfortably chased. Following the defeat, Iyer clarified that the decision was based on expectations of a slowing pitch later in the game. While critics questioned the strategy, Iyer stood by his call, crediting KKR’s dominant batting for the loss rather than blaming the toss outcome alone. (PC: AP)
