Shreyas Iyer's vintage calm, vicious finish: Channels prime Kohli as knockout masterclass lifts PBKS into IPL final
Knockout king: Iyer's evolving big-match legacy Live Events 11 innings 303 runs Average: 50.50 Strike rate: 142.92 Three fifties, top score: 87* The Kohli effect: Same shot, same zone, same vibe Can Iyer finish the job? (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Under immense pressure and bright Ahmedabad lights, Shreyas Iyer turned ice-cold, hammering an unbeaten 87 to take Punjab Kings into the IPL final with a calm, calculated and brutal finish — the kind of innings that evoked echoes of Virat Kohli in his most dominant T20 PBKS chasing 204 and reeling at 55/2 in the eighth over, Iyer walked in and stitched a knock for the ages — blending risk-free rotation with brutal bursts of six-hitting, all while exuding the same composure that once defined India's most reliable latest performance adds another glittering gem to an already standout record in high-stakes white-ball occasional dips, the 30-year-old has built a reputation as a go-to man under pressure. Across 21 white-ball knockout games — including outings for India, IPL franchises and domestic teams — Iyer now boasts 719 runs at an average of 44.93, including a century and four IPL knockout numbers are even more compelling:In all T20 knockouts (including domestic), Iyer has amassed 517 runs at 43.08 with a strike rate of a gritty 65 in the IPL 2020 final to a blistering 73 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022 semifinal and a rapid 58* to steer KKR into the IPL final this season, Iyer has repeatedly stood tall when it on the international stage, his temperament has stood out. He lit up the 2023 ODI World Cup semifinal with a 67-ball century at Wankhede, setting the tone with Virat Kohli in a game India won handsomely. That hundred remains the fastest in a World Cup knockout the 2025 Champions Trophy semifinal, Iyer added a gritty 45 alongside Kohli in a tense chase against Australia. And in the final, he laid the foundation with a composed 48, helping India seal their second ICC title in less than a Qualifier 2, the moment that drew fans back to 2016 came in the 16th over — when Iyer opened the face of his bat to steer a Jasprit Bumrah yorker past short third man for four. It mirrored the iconic shot Kohli played off James Faulkner in the T20 World Cup's virtual quarterfinal nine years followed it up with a ruthless 24-run assault off Ashwani Kumar in the 19th over — four towering sixes, all delivered with a straight face and a dead stare. No fist pump. No smile. Just game was done, but the war, as Iyer had warned post-Qualifier 1, was PBKS skipper's performance in this IPL season — particularly in knockout stages — is more than just a purple patch. It's a compelling reminder to Indian selectors of a middle-order batter who can remain composed in crisis and lethal in he can finally end PBKS's title drought and complete what he started remains to be seen. But with the final looming and Iyer in this form, Punjab may have found their best shot thing is certain — in pressure, Shreyas Iyer doesn't just survive. He thrives.

Cardi B Goes Instagram Official With Stefon Diggs Amid Ongoing Divorce From Offset
Cardi B has made her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs official on Instagram. The rapper shared a series of photos from their Memorial Day weekend getaway in Miami, Florida. One of the pictures shows Cardi posing on a yacht in a black one-piece swimsuit, while another features her and Diggs leaning in for a kiss with her leg draped over his. She captioned the slideshow, 'Chapter 5……Hello Chapter six,' referring to the months of the year. This post marks the first time she shared photos of Diggs directly on her Instagram grid. The couple first sparked dating rumors back in February 2025 after being spotted on a Valentine's Day date in Miami. They were later seen attending a Met Gala afterparty in May and sitting courtside at a New York Knicks playoff game, which marked their first public appearance together. Earlier in May, Stefon Diggs also included Cardi B in his own photo dump on Instagram, adding to the speculation. Their recent Memorial Day weekend trip seemed to celebrate six months of dating. In the Instagram post, Cardi B shared several glamorous moments from the trip, including a video of her twerking in a hot tub, clips of red rose bouquets, and shots of her showing off diamond jewelry and a bright blue Birkin bag. One video showed her singing in an elevator, while another captured her with pink and blonde curls getting ready with her glam team. However, the trip was also linked to a recent viral video of Stefon Diggs partying on a yacht surrounded by women, reportedly during the same weekend. The video showed him handling a bag with an unknown substance, which could potentially affect his status with the New England Patriots. Cardi B's relationship update comes while she is in the middle of a divorce from her estranged husband, Offset. The couple secretly married in 2017 and have three children: Kulture, 6, Wave, 3, and Blossom, born in September 2024. Offset is now seeking spousal support and has requested 'everything' in the divorce proceedings, which led Cardi to share a fiery rant on social media. Cardi B accused Offset of harassment and claimed he has made threats during the legal battle. Despite the ongoing drama, she has chosen to move forward and publicly share her new chapter with Stefon Diggs.
