Shreyas Iyer Injury Update: Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer will play against Chennai Super Kings on Friday. The PBKS assistant coach has provided a significant update.

Big update on Shreyas Iyer's injury

A major update has emerged regarding Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer's injury. He suffered the injury during the match against the Gujarat Titans. However, he continued batting despite being hit on the hand. Punjab Kings assistant coach Brad Haddin has provided an update on whether he will be able to play in the match against Chennai Super Kings.

Will Shreyas Iyer be out?

Punjab Kings assistant coach Brad Haddin provided the latest update, stating that Shreyas Iyer is not fractured, but his hand is swollen. Haddin stated that the team management is hopeful that Iyer will play Friday's match against the Chennai Super Kings.

If Shreyas Iyer is unable to play in the match against Chennai Super Kings, the question of who will captain the team will be a big one. Marcus Stoinis, who captains the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, could be a captaincy option, or Arshdeep Singh could also be named captain.

Shreyas' record against CSK

Shreyas Iyer's overall statistics against the Chennai Super Kings aren't particularly impressive. He has scored 371 runs in 15 IPL innings against Chennai at an average of 28.5 and a strike rate of just 115.94. Overall, Iyer has scored 3,749 runs in 134 matches at an impressive average of 34.08.

On the other hand, if we look at the head-to-head statistics between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings, they have met 32 ​​times, with Punjab winning 16 of them. It's also surprising that in the last eight matches, CSK has only defeated Punjab once.
