Vyshak's Variations Fire Up PBKS Title Push Under Iyer
Vyshak Vijaykumar, Punjab Kings' top bowler so far—five wickets across just two outings—opened up on his knuckle ball tricks. And those Test cricket ambitions?
Vijaykumar Vyshak, Punjab Kings' pacer, tops the IPL 2026 bowling charts. Five wickets from just two games. He's dead set on tweaking his skills each season—knuckle balls and all that—pulling inspiration from skipper Shreyas Iyer plus his own hunger. Team victories? That's his north star. And yeah, he's gunning for a Test berth.
PBKS hold second spot. Five points off two wins in three outings. Iyer's got this squad ticking with real shape to it. Rain wrecked their last one against KKR—25/2 after 3.4 overs, called off, no result. Before that, they carried an unbeaten streak right into SRH, where openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya squared off against Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.
Arshdeep Singh. Yuzvendra Chahal. Throw in Vyshak's hot run, and this rebuild's got legs.
