While the discussion revolves around the Mumbai cricketer’s caliber as a captain, the ongoing season has shown his skills more as a game-changer with the bat. This year more than 600 runs are his best run in IPL, but whatever is important is 39 sixes. The PBK captain hit only 14 sixes in the previous edition and made Tally almost three times. Sris’s childhood coach Praveen Amre said, “We worked on Shreyas’s bat swing, focusing on helping him well. He has slammed this IPL so far, while in the last three versions, his overall tally of sixes has come below 30.”

“Shreyas has a current strike-by-175.80 in IPL 2025, which he has focused on raising specially. He has also worked hard to end the Games after the Champions Trophy 2025, where he had played significant knocks, but could not end some games. I told Shreyas, ‘We are in India, we are with Remond Suits. Similarly, he should choose a technique that is tailor to his approach rather than trying to follow someone else.Shreyas’s batting average is currently 54.82 this season, which is quite impressive given the average of 39.00 in the previous edition. PBK had never crossed 40 before the average version of Captain as a batsman in the IPL. In the previous edition, Shreyas has carried forward six half-century this season compared to two fifties, setting his personal best records in the tournament.

While the PBKS captain’s performance has been really impressive, the journey behind his bright change has been one of the tremendous commitment, when he returned to 2024 when he was excluded from BCCI’s central contracts.“As we know, Shreyas faced a back injury in 2023, as a result he had to remember the IPL and performed further surgery. It is always a big task for a person to overcome it, both physically as well as mentally. Shreyas was eager to return. However, unfortunately he lost to the central contract. It came as a big set. It is difficult. But Shreyas saw it as a window of opportunity to use time. He re -organized a set of individuals to create his core team, and I was lucky to be a part of my journey, as well as strength and conditioning coach and he himself. We nominated our working group as ‘Team Shreyas’, “Physiotherapist Abhishek Sawant, who has now worked with a batsman around a decade.

The mental aspect of the game was given a lot of attention and the one who stood outside was the tireless approach of the right hand.“We expanded their journey with an overall approach, dividing the change into three parts: Physio, S&C and their skills set. Shreyas also began to undergo a mental switch, practiced a lot of scenes. During a period of two to three months, special attention was focused on strengthening it and bringing it back to its best.“Everything that was during the syllabus is that we wanted the credit to keep pushing him. It was a day when he woke up with a lot of agony, but no attempt was made to avoid the piece. He is going through so much toilet that any challenge seems easy,” Sawant said.During that difficult period, the level of surrender never took a dip and the extreme meditation helped him back to a better cricketer and a strong person.Who is that IPL player?
“His current level excellence is due to his net dedication, doing the right things at the right time and focusing extremely. The results are in front of everyone,” Sant concluded.
