Talking about PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer under whom the team has qualified for the playoffs, ex-India cricketer Robin Uthappa said Shreyas felt "underappreciated" at KKR despite adding value. "Shreyas has always been an exceptional captain," he stated. Notably, KKR won IPL 2024 under the leadership of Shreyas who was released by the franchise before IPL 2025 auction.
