Batting Beyond Limits: Prabhsimran Singh’s Historic 1000-Run Triumph for PBKS

Prabhsimran Singh became a part of history as the first uncapped player to achieve 1,000 IPL runs for Punjab Kings in their game against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. His 49-ball 83 (6 fours, 6 sixes) was the foundation of PBKS's innings, though KKR emerged victorious in a closely contested game.

 

Key highlights:

 

Record-breaker: Surpassed Manan Vohra's 957 runs to top PBKS's uncapped list, now having 1,048 runs at 24.37 avg (strike rate: 151.88).

 

Milestone strike: Handed his 5th IPL fifty and went over 50 sixes for the league in the knock.

 

Future target: Retained as a core player (₹4 crore) for 2025, Prabhsimran is searching for consistency to guide PBKS's maiden title push.
