Batting alongside Priyansh Arya, he forged a solid 120-run first-wicket partnership in only 10.3 overs.
Last night, Punjab Kings (PBKS) opener Prabhsimran Singh played a brilliant knock against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), scoring 83 runs off 49 balls, hitting six fours and six sixes.
He scored freely against all the KKR bowlers and helped Punjab post a total of 201 for four in their 20 overs. However, after the first over of KKR’s innings, rain started and later got heavier, leading to the match being abandoned. Despite the game being called off, Prabhsimran’s innings was the highlight. He has now scored 292 runs in nine matches this season.
During the commentary of the match between KKR and PBKS, former Australia opener Matthew Hayden spoke about how excited Ricky Ponting was about the young opener at the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Hayden said that when he met the PBKS head coach in Ahmedabad earlier in the season, Ponting was quite pleased. Hayden added that since Ponting does not usually get excited easily, it showed how much he rated Prabhsimran’s talent.
“I met Ricky in Ahmedabad right at the start of this season and he seemed very excited. He said ‘Haydos, I have found a gem!,” Hayden said.
