The Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings will take on hosts Delhi Capitals with an eye on keeping their top spot intact in the points table. Iyer & Co, who have 11 points from five wins out of their six matches so far with one being a washout, have looked solid in all departments and bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule attributes this to the team’s leader.

“Shreyas is a Mumbai boy so I’ve seen his growth over  time. His leadership qualities are special because he feels that he’s not just responsible for himself, but also for the other 10 guys on the field. Besides, his collaboration with the support staff and guys who are not playing, is phenomenal too,” said Bahutule at the match-eve conference here on Friday.
