A week has passed since the final match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025). But the discussion of this Mahamukabale played between Punjab-RCB is still not stopping. Nehal of Punjab is also being discussed a lot, who caught everyone’s attention by performing brilliantly in IPL 2025. The 24 -year -old uncapted batsman scored 369 runs in 16 matches, including two half -centuries, 28 fours and 21 sixes. His strike rate was 145.85, which helped Punjab Kings reach the final after 11 years.

However, Nehal flopped in the final against RCB and could only score 15 runs. He himself admitted that if he had played better that day, he might have won the team trophy. Nehal said in a media conversation, “I consider myself responsible, if I had played a little more fast, the match would have been in our bag.”

At the same time, Nehal revealed that at the beginning of the IPL he did not think that he would be a part of the playing XI. But then coach Ricky Ponting spoke and everything changed. On his relationship with Ponting, Nehal said, “He is not just a coach, like a mentor.”

Nehal appreciated Shreyas Iyer

Praising Shreyar Iyer, Nehal said that he is not only in the field but also outside the field. Nehal said that one of his statements touched my heart- ‘Don’t make yourself available so that people start taking you lightly.’ At the same time, on a meeting with Virat Kohli, he told, “I just congratulated him and said if he could meet my family. He was very happy after victory, so I did not bother him much.”

When T20 was called a game of batsmen, Nehal said that this is not completely correct. “Bowlers like Bumrah, Arshadeep, Krunal Pandya are still doing well today. This game is of mentality and confidence.
