In interviews, the 31-year-old admitted that repeated questions about his ability to deal with the short ball acted as the spark for a fresh mindset and a more targeted preparation routine.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Shreyas Iyer credits criticism about his short-ball issue as the trigger for a revamped batting approach in IPL 2026.<\/li>\n<li>He says his current intent is more aggressive when a short-pitched delivery comes into his hitting zone.<\/li>\n<li>Punjab\u2019s improved control, including better execution against pace, has helped power an unbeaten run.<\/li>\n<li>The team made IPL history by chasing 265 against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, marking the highest successful chase in T20.<\/li>\n<li>Iyer highlighted net work\u2014around 50 overs and 300+ balls\u2014plus facing real bowlers as key to the transformation.<\/li>\n<li>He stressed mental resilience and pointed to support from mentors such as Pravin Amre and Abhishek Nayar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Criticism becomes motivation<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking on JioStar, Iyer explained that doubts around his short-ball batting \u201ctriggered\u201d the shift. He acknowledged that people had written off his chances of fixing the problem, and that made him even more determined to respond with performances. \u201cPeople said I would never fix my short-ball problem. That triggered me,\u201d he said. \u201cI wanted to prove them wrong by performing well. So, I worked hard on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From there, he described how his approach to short-pitched bowling has been completely reworked. Earlier, he said he would either play for a single or try to keep the ball under control and away from danger. Now, his mindset is different: if he spots a short ball in his area, he is looking to strike decisively. \u201cEarlier, I would just take a single or try to keep the ball down. But now my mindset has changed,\u201d Iyer said. \u201cIf I see a short ball in my zone, I am going to hit it for a six.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Punjab\u2019s unbeaten run and a record chase<\/h2>\n<p>Iyer\u2019s evolution has shown up in Punjab Kings\u2019 form during the season. The skipper linked the team\u2019s success to sharper execution, especially his ability to manage pace more effectively and keep control of the ball. With that improvement, the franchise has sustained a run of unbeaten results.<\/p>\n<p>Punjab recently scripted a standout moment by chasing 265 against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The chase is recorded as the highest successful target in T20 history, underscoring how the side has been able to convert pressure into momentum\u2014an aspect Iyer\u2019s renewed intent has helped support.<\/p>\n<h2>Net routine, real bowlers and mental reset<\/h2>\n<p>While Iyer acknowledged the role of coaching and mentorship, he insisted that the biggest gains came from consistent work in the nets. He credited mentors including Pravin Amre and Abhishek Nayar for helping refine his technique, but added that practice time and a deliberate mindset reset made the difference. \u201cDuring my batting practice, I try to play around 50 overs and face over 300 balls. That helps me understand what works for me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also explained why facing actual bowlers\u2014rather than depending only on throwdowns\u2014has sharpened his decision-making. In his view, confronting different deliveries with a live bowling rhythm makes his movement clearer and more repeatable. \u201cThe more I face bowlers, the clearer my movement becomes. I focus on creating a rhythm,\u201d Iyer added.<\/p>\n<p>Iyer drew inspiration from batting greats such as AB de Villiers, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, emphasising the importance of balance and timing. He said he tries to get set quickly just before the bowler delivers, which helps him flow into the shot. \u201cJust before the bowler delivers, I try to get into my position quickly. That creates a flow,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<h2>Proving doubters wrong<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond technical adjustments, Iyer pointed to mental resilience as a central ingredient in his comeback. He said that hearing negative opinions does not sit well with him, and that he chooses to channel those comments into determination. \u201cI have people around me who say you can\u2019t do it. I don\u2019t like hearing that\u2026 I decide that I have to prove them wrong,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his return from injury, he described how mindset shaping helped him challenge the narrative that he would not return to his best. \u201cSome people said I would never be the same again. I asked myself, why can\u2019t I be? The way you shape your mindset is important,\u201d Iyer said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer says the relentless backlash he faced
