Prabhsimran Singh Innings: Through IPL, many players have made their place in Team India in the last few years and the result has been seen in the form of 2 consecutive T20 World Cup titles. But still there are many players who may not get a place in Team India but their performance is continuously improving season after season. Punjab Kings’ young wicketkeeper-batsman Prabhsimran Singh is one of those players who has taken his batting to a new level in the last 2-3 seasons. The latest example of this was seen against Mumbai Indians, where he played a brilliant inning of 80 runs and gave the team an easy victory.
last year punjab kings Prabhasimran, who played a big role in reaching the final of IPL, has continued the same form in IPL 2026 and is scoring runs from the very first match. But his most explosive style was seen at the Wankhede Stadium, where this right-handed batsman blasted experienced and skilled bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Deepak Chahar, Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur and scored unbeaten 80 runs in just 39 balls and took the team to the target of 196 runs in 16.3 overs.
Who prepared Prabh during the holidays?
Prabhasimran was batting strongly last season too but this time he is playing with even more aggression and stability. The reason for this is also the hard work done before the start of the season, in which Prabhasimran once again took help from veteran all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. Prabh, who had improved his game many times before under the supervision of Yuvraj, revealed this after the match. The Punjab opener said that he had worked hard in the off-season to stay at the crease for a long time. Prabhasimran said, “I worked a lot with Yuvraj Singh in the academy during the off-season. He explained to me that I have a lot of time and hence I should bat long.”
The effect is visible with every match
But nothing is done just by saying, it has to be done also. Prabhasimran did not reveal what details Yuvraj told him, but it seems to be having an impact. He has batted in 4 innings so far and his score has increased in every innings. After scoring 37 runs in the first match, he scored 43 runs in the next innings and then when he got the third chance, Prabhasimran played an inning of 51 runs. Now he has played the longest innings of 80 runs in this season. Overall, so far in IPL 2026, this batsman has scored 211 runs at an average of 70 and strike rate of 173, which includes 22 fours and 11 sixes. It is clear that these numbers will increase rapidly in the coming days.
