Punjab Kings courtesy of Prabhsimran Singh's unbeaten half-century has got a brilliant start to a chase of 172 in the match against Lucknow super Giants. Singh and his captain Shreyas Iyer has forged a brilliant partnership that is slowly taking LSG out of the game.
Singh has been particularly aggressive against both pace and spin and has put the Lucknow Super Giants on the backfoot very early. His shot selection has been very selective and pinpoint. He has played every shot to perfection so far with the bowlers not being able to gate on how to dismiss him.
The keeper-batters ominous form has been the highlight of the first 10 overs of the Punjab Kings chase. Priyansh Arya (8runs off 9 balls) was dismissed in the third over and since then it has been all about the partnership between Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh.
