PBKS fast bowling coach James Hopes is all praise for Priyansh Arya

Chandigarh, April 18 (UNI) Ahead of the Punjab Kings’ upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) home encounter against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the New International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh on Sunday, fast bowling coach James Hopes addressed the media to discuss the team's momentum. Reflecting on the recent victory in Mumbai, Hopes praised the evolving leadership of captain Shreyas Iyer, the resilience of the squad’s bowling unit and the mature performances shown by young talent.
The coach opened by highlighting Iyer’s brilliant catch against the Mumbai Indians and remarked on the maturity he has brought to his captaincy over the years, while also noting his potential to become a world-class batter upon his return to the national side.
Hopes said, “I can't say enough about Shreyas. I worked with him when he was very young in this league and he's just grown and he's grown over the years to become the player he is and the captain he is. Captaincy hasn’t affected his batting, to be honest, I think the captaincy improves batting. He's gone from strength to strength.”
