Punjabi singer Ammy Virk has voiced his disappointment with Punjab Kings' captain Shreyas Iyer following the team's fifth consecutive loss in IPL 2026. The latest defeat came against Mumbai Indians in Dharamsala, where PBKS set a target of 200 runs but failed to defend it. Mumbai's Tilak Varma played a pivotal role, scoring 75 runs off 33 balls, leading his team to victory with just one ball remaining. Virk, a passionate supporter of PBKS, expressed his frustration over Iyer's captaincy, highlighting several tactical errors that he believes contributed to the loss. He specifically questioned the decision to remove Yuzvendra Chahal from the bowling attack when he was performing well and suggested that Arshdeep Singh should have bowled in critical moments. Despite the setback, Iyer remains hopeful about the team's chances, emphasizing the need to win their next two matches against Royal Challengers Bengaluru to keep playoff aspirations alive. Currently, PBKS has 13 points from 12 matches, a stark contrast to their strong start with six wins, now facing the challenge of turning their fortunes around to qualify for the playoffs.
