<![CDATA["It was a turning point..."- Prabhsimran Singh credits two former India internationals for turning around his IPL career]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/it-was-a-turning-point-prabhsimran-singh-credits-two-former-india-internationals-for-turning-around-his-ipl-career/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/it-was-a-turning-point-prabhsimran-singh-credits-two-former-india-internationals-for-turning-around-his-ipl-career/ Sat, 23 Aug 2025 15:52:06 GMT

Punjab Kings (PBKS) opener Prabhsimran Singh credited two former cricketers for helping him evolve as a more mature batsman. Singh has been with the Punjab-based franchise since 2019. For the first four seasons, from IPL 2019 to IPL 2022, he got to play only 6 matches. His luck started to shine when Shikhar Dhawan came as the captain in 2023. He assured Singh about regular chances. From then, the emerging keeper-batter started to grow his batting skills at a rapid pace. During a recent conversation, the 25-year-old opener said that it was Shikhar Dhawan who helped him a lot for a possible turnaround. In IPL 2023, Prabhsimran smacked his first IPL century, which was against Delhi Capitals. He concluded the season with an impressive 358 runs at a strike rate of over 150 after playing 14 matches.

In the previous Indian Premier League, as captain, he proved to be an integral part of PBKS at the top of the batting order. In 17 matches, the batter scored 549 runs at an average of 32.49 and a strike rate of 160.52.

"When Shikhar paaji was appointed as the captain two years ago, he gave me the surety that I will play all the games. In the same season, I scored a century. It was a turning point in my career," the PBKS opener said.

Yuvraj Singh also played a vital role

Prabhsimran also mentioned how another former India international, Yuvraj Singh, helped him to shape his playing style. Singh and some other well-known Indian talents used to practice under Yuvraj. Those training sessions proved effective for Prabhsimran Singh. 

"Yuvi paji has played a big role in my career. I always talk to him like a brother and not like a player. I, Abhishek, Naman Dhir, and Nehal Wadhera practice with him. We had 10-12 days of camp with him last time around. He knows very well on what exact things we have to work on. On a weekly basis, I get to speak with him. He has supported me a lot," he added.

Shreyas Iyer has become the catalyst for Punjab Kings’ (PBKS) incredible comeback in IPL 2025. Ahead of their clash against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 at Narendra Modi Stadium on June 1, fans and experts alike have applauded Iyer’s composed but commanding leadership. The 30-year-old, a Champions Trophy winner, has taught a side that had not reached the playoffs in 10 seasons discipline and belief in themselves. His batting performances and heady decision-making have played a significant role in what has been the best season for PBKS in ages.

In a recently aired Star Sports video, several of PBKS’s young players recalled Iyer’s leadership and how he has cultivated a winning environment for the franchise. Leading wicket-taker Arshdeep Singh revealed how Iyer gives his team complete backing and lets them play without any baggage. “I’ve played under Iyer in the Duleep Trophy, and he was a great leader. He doesn’t give strict instructions; he just tells us to trust ourselves and what we are capable of. He creates a very selfless team environment, and that is why we all want to give our best for him.” Arshdeep’s sentiments were echoed by other young stars, emphasizing the unifying effect Iyer has had on the squad.

Prabhsimran Singh, who opened the batting alongside Iyer, also spoke about the instincts and fearlessness of the Skipper. “He talks about trusting your instincts all the time. If you have to second-guess a shot, don't hit it. But if you are confident, then go for it," Prabhsimran said. “He is batting like a world number one - clean hitting, smart decisions, and match-finishing innings. He gets us to play with freedom and clarity." The message from the PBKS young core definitively notes Shreyas Iyer's captaincy has changed their perspective. 

Shreyas Iyer on the verge of making IPL history

In the last IPL season, Shreyas Iyer led the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to their third IPL title, demonstrating he is made of captaincy steel, and now leading PBKS, he is on the brink of making history. A win in IPL 2025 will make Iyer the third captain to win two consecutive IPL titles and the only captain to do so with two franchises, marking him a bona fide leader in IPL history.

Iyer has had players rallying and believing in one another in a way we have never witnessed before. His strategic acumen and fearless batting have not only earned him the trust of PBKS players but also the adoration of fans, who see him as the driving force behind the team’s remarkable turnaround this season.

<![CDATA[3 players who are the best choice for PBKS captaincy]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-analysis/3-players-who-are-the-best-choice-for-pbks-captaincy/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-analysis/3-players-who-are-the-best-choice-for-pbks-captaincy/ Mon, 19 May 2025 18:12:52 GMT

Shreyas Iyer, in unfortunate circumstances, injured the index finger of his hand while practising for the game against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Jaipur. During the match, Iyer did bat but not at his usual number. The right hand batter came further down, looked down and out, and didn't have the captain's armband too while his side took the field in the second innings. Instead, he was substituted, and Shashank Singh led the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in his absence. However, there has been no confirmation yet from any source, neither him nor the franchise, about his availability in the games ahead. With PBKS affirming their playoff spot last night, and yet having a couple of matches more to play in the league, they must be prepared for all the eventualities. 

The North Indian franchise's regular skipper became the first player in the history of the tournament to make three teams qualify for the playoffs as captain. He first accomplished this feat as the leader of the Delhi Capitals (DC) in 2019 and 2020. Moreover, in 2020, he took them to the finals, only to get beaten by the Mumbai Indians (MI). Second, he led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the title glory last year, and now this season with PBKS, he, as their captain, has made them qualify for the playoffs after 11 years, and the first time since 2014. PBKS, then known as Kings XI Punjab, had lost in the final to KKR.

In a worst-case scenario, if PBKS are forced to explore captaincy options due to the possibility of Shreyas' unavailability, then there can be a few candidates for the prestigious role. A deeper look into that might help understand which players can lead the franchise. Add to it the magnitude of the upcoming games, and it would be a serious headache for the team management if it goes that route. 

Shashank Singh 

Shashank Singh

Having been made the stand-in skipper, in Iyer's absence, against RR, he seems to have the full trust of the head coach, Ricky Ponting, and his backroom staff. Although he was guided by Shreyas and the coach while defending their total, but if left alone, he will feel confident of leading the side in this extremely vital business stage of the tournament. When batting, lower down the order for the Kings, aiming to finish well, he plays maturely and responsibly, and this character might aid him if asked to don the captaincy hat. 

Prabhsimran Singh

Prabhsimran Singh

Although he has never captained any team, in any format and on any level, now being the first-choice wicketkeeper of the team in Josh Inglis' absence, he can be thrown into the skipper duties. From behind the stumps, he has a bird's eye view of the game and sees the action unfold in front of him.  This game sense can help him while making all the bowling changes and setting the field accordingly. 

Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh

The leader of the bowling attack for the team, he is always seen giving his valuable inputs towards making things happen. He is progressive on the field and would relish if made the captain. Being already in the think tank, he will have an added advantage and would feel strategically confident enough to lead his side in case the regular skipper cannot. 

PBKS would hope that Shreyas Iyer recovers in time for their upcoming games and is deemed fit enough to not only lead but also contribute massively with the bat, as he is known for and has done positively for the team. Taking a player of his calibre out of any side would create a huge hole in their chances to progress and put a stake forward for winning the silverware.

Rain Plays Spoilsport

Punjab Kings put up a commanding total of 201/4 in 20 overs, thanks to explosive knocks from Priyansh Arya (69 off 35) and Prabhsimran (83 off 49). Shreyas Iyer added a steady 25*, while Josh Inglis chipped in with a quick 11*. Vaibhav Arora stood out for the Kolkata Knight Riders with 3 wickets. Despite a strong batting display, the game was interrupted by rain before KKR could properly begin their chase.

Kolkata Knight Riders managed only 7/0 in one over before rain forced the match to be abandoned. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine opened the innings but had no real chance to build momentum. Marco Jansen bowled the only over for Punjab. With no further play possible, the match was declared a no result, and both teams had to settle for sharing one point each.

Talking about this match, Punjab Kings team could not score a big score and Kolkata team had a target of only 112 runs. But the real game starts when Yuzvendra Chahal comes to bowl. Chahal first dismissed Ajinkya Rahane LBW on a score of 17 runs, after which he also dismissed Angkrish Raghuvanshi who was looking dangerous. Chahal then dismissed Rinku Singh and then Ramandeep Singh on two consecutive balls to bring back Punjab Kings. Chahal took four wickets for 28 runs in four overs.

The team lost six wickets for 80 runs and experienced spinner Narine made it difficult for Punjab to make a comeback by dismissing Suryansh Shedge (four) and Marco Jansen (one). Shashank and Bartlett took the team past 100 with a 23-run partnership for the ninth wicket but both were dismissed within three balls.
This resulted in Punjab's innings being reduced to 111 runs. This was their fourth lowest score in the IPL.

Kolkata Knight Riders team failed in run chase

Chasing the target of 112 runs, Kolkata's condition was also bad. In the very first over of the innings, Sunil Narine was bowled by Marco Jansen after scoring five runs with a four. In the next over, Xavier Bartlett, who was playing his first IPL match, got Quinton de Kock (2) caught by Suryansh Shedge on the boundary. Captain Ajinkya Rahane (17) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (37), who came as an impact player, took the team from a score of seven runs for two wickets and took it to 62 runs. Both played well and took advantage of some lifelines.

With this, KKR tightened the grip. In the eighth over, Chahal got Rahane out LBW and brought Punjab back. In his next over, he gave the fourth blow by getting Raghuvanshi caught by Bartlett.
