There is a huge debate on social media after the end of the IPL 2025 final match. The reason for this debate is the controversial comments made by former indian cricketer yograj singh against punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer. Yograj, who is often in the news with his harsh comments, has once again created a sensation. In the final match, shreyas iyer faced only 2 balls and was out for 1 run for punjab Kings. Reacting strongly to this performance, Yograj described the shot played by Shreyas as a "criminal offense" (crime). "That shot made me angry. It was like a crime. There is no apology for such a performance. Maybe a two-match ban could be imposed for this act," he said. Yograj Singh's comments have become a hot topic in the sports world.
Should we forget the winning journey because of one mistake? It is true that shreyas iyer failed in the final. But under his leadership, punjab Kings have performed brilliantly throughout this season. Apart from being at the top of the points table, Shreyas' captaincy has been crucial in defeating opponents in crucial matches. His efforts in taking punjab Kings to the final cannot be ignored. It is good to point out mistakes but respect the effort. It is not right to reduce the entire effort of any player just because he fails in a single match.
 
The opinion is that Yograj Singh's comments are not serious, but are against the spirit of sportsmanship. Mistakes are natural in the game. Considering them as "crimes" damages the spirit of sportsmanship. The question arises as to how reasonable it is to make such comments when one should be supporting a player. Despite Shreyas Iyer's failure in the final, he showed his mettle throughout the season. His leadership skills and the way he took the team to the final are commendable. It is unfair to underestimate his effort with Yograj Singh's comments. Criticism should be constructive, reasonable, and with a sporting perspective. The need to analyze captains who are always under pressure has now increased even more.
