IPL 2025 mein Punjab Kings ka performance sabko surprise kar raha hai, aur is success ka credit jaata hai do naye naamon ko – Shreyas Iyer aur Ricky Ponting. Opener Prabhsimran Singh ne openly bataya ki kaise ye dono milke team ka pura mindset badal chuke hain.
Prabhsimran, jo 2019 se PBKS ka part hain, maante hain ki is baar ka setup bilkul ‘hatke’ hai. Team naye style mein khel rahi hai – zyada confident, zyada attacking aur zyada united.
“It’s been seven years for me with Punjab Kings. So obviously, they have backed me a lot. And you can say that this year, we are playing very different cricket. And I feel that we are dominating most of the time,”
– Prabhsimran Singh, Star Sports Press Room
PBKS ne haal hi mein KKR ke against ek low-scoring thriller jeeta tha, jisme unhone sirf 112 defend kiya – aur yeh dikhata hai unki team spirit aur leadership quality. Rain ke chalte ek important match chhoot gaya, lekin Prabhsimran ka maanna hai ki qualification ke chances ab bhi strong hain.
“Our coach is very positive and even the captain too. He backs you fully. You don’t have to think about what will happen if that happens. Iyer too takes decisions with zero doubt in his mind and accepts it irrespective of the outcome,”
– Prabhsimran Singh
Shreyas Iyer aur Ricky Ponting dono pehli baar PBKS ke saath jude hain, lekin unka asar seedha scoreboard pe dikh raha hai. Prabhsimran, jo mega auction ke baad retained kiye gaye sirf do players mein se ek the, aaj team ke core ka hissa ban chuke hain. Unke saath retained hue the Shashank Singh.
Abhi Punjab Kings points table mein 5th position</strong par hain, aur unka agla match hoga Chennai Super Kings ke khilaaf, April 30 ko MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai mein. Fans ko umeed hai ki is momentum ko team continue rakhegi aur 2014 ke baad pehli baar playoffs mein apni jagah pakki karegi.
