Punjab suffered a humiliating defeat against RCB in the first qualifier of the IPL 2025 season. Speaking about it, Moody felt that he "completely misunderstood the game situation and his position". "He missed the first ball - the exact line that Hazlewood was expected to bowl. He did it as if he was playing it. Then, on the third ball, he got out. For me, he completely misunderstood the game situation and his position. Yes, he would have known that Hazlewood would have dismissed him many times. He would have known the right statistics," said Moody. Moody, who coached punjab from 2008 to 2010, added that Shreyas should have tried to overcome the threat of Iyer Hazlewood instead of facing it.
"Sometimes, you have to put your ego in your pocket and move on. For me, that's a perfect example of not understanding the situation." "Instead of trying to overcome a dark shadow in the past, we need to swallow our pride, understand, and move forward. We need to finish Hazlewood off and break up the bowling of others," he added. Iyer was dismissed with a poor shot to a good length delivery from Hazlewood. Iyer was out for two runs off three balls. This was Hazlewood's fourth dismissal in T20Is off 22 balls. punjab Kings will face the winner of the Eliminator in Qualifier 2 in ahmedabad on Sunday, june 1.
