Former India player Aakash Chopra has praised Prabhsimran Singh for playing a match-winning knock against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). He added that he was only showing glimpses of his talent in the last seasons, and is now showcasing his full skill as well. However, Prabhsimran smashed 91 runs off 48 deliveries as PBKS set LSG a 237-run target and then they restricted LSG to 199/7 to register a 37-
run win as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “The biggest story was courage, and Prabhsimran Singh gave that courage. Uncapped Indian, 1000 runs, that is Prabhsimran Singh. It was like a reel earlier, but we got to see the full picture this season. He has scored runs consistently. He gave a Player of the Match performance the last time they played against LSG, and a similar performance here as well. I loved the maturity with which he batted. The risk is there when you hit sixes, but it was calculated. Since he is short-statured, the just short balls become short for him. He was very, very good. Of course, ably supported by Shreyas Iyer, Josh Inglis and Shashank Singh.”

While talking about the Punjab Kings’ bowling, Aakash Chopra applauded Arshdeep Singh for dismissing Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran with the new ball as well.

“When they got to bowl in the second innings, the biggest story was Arshdeep Singh. He bowled three consecutive overs in the powerplay for the first time since 2019. The opposing team’s strength is their top three, the two Ms and Nicholas Pooran, and he dismissed all three. He dismissed Mitchell Marsh in the last match and got him out almost similarly this time too for zero. Aiden Markram got an inside edge and the ball hit his stumps. Nicky P is going through a slight lean patch. The ball hit him straight on his pads. The three wickets meant the game was almost sealed and delivered,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
