Sachin Tendulkar is known as the 'God of Cricket' for a reason. Apart from his own set of talents, the Master Blaster also has a keen eye for identifying brilliance. In an old video dated two years back, Sachin made a prediction about a PBKS star who can come good in the coming years. 

Fast-forward to the present, the young cricketer slammed his maiden IPL century last night against the Delhi Capitals, becoming Punjab's first centurion of the IPL 2023 season. Prabhsimran Singh's batting exploits propelled his team to an impressive victory over the Delhi Capitals, who became the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race this year.

Due to Prabhsimran's impressive performance, the cricket fraternity has showered him with praise, and an old video featuring batting legend Tendulkar discussing the PBKS star has resurfaced on the internet. In the viral video, the Master Blaster reflects on the youngster's batting performance during the 2020 edition of the celebrated T20 tournament.

Prabhsimran Singh gave a testament of his mettle with the ton

“Prabhsimran is one to watch out for. His backlift and bat swing is free flowing. When the ball hits his bat, and the sound it creates is quite amazing,” Tendulkar lauded the PBKS in a video shared on Twitter.

 

Playing a brilliant knock to eliminate Delhi Capitals from the playoff race, Prabhsimran smashed 103 off 65 to help Punjab post 167-7 in 20 overs. Prabhsimran smoked six sixes and the PBKS opener struck 10 fours in his quick-fire knock against David Warner's men at Delhi. In reply, Warner and Co. mustered only 136-8 in 20 overs as the hosts lost the match by 31 runs. With the win, Dhawan's PBKS side has climbed to the sixth spot on the IPL 2023 points table.
