Prabhsimran Singh is an Indian opening batter. He plays domestic cricket for Punjab and represents Punjab Kings in the IPL. He first came into the IPL setup when Punjab Kings picked him ahead of the 2019 season. The franchise backed him again in the 2022 auction for ₹60 lakh. His big moment came in IPL 2023 when he scored a century against Delhi Capitals. That innings knocked DC out of the tournament.
In IPL 2024, he scored 334 runs in 14 matches that season. Ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction, Punjab Kings retained him for ₹4 crore. He rewarded that trust with a strong season, scoring 549 runs in 17 innings at a high strike rate above 160. He also built a strong opening partnership with Priyansh Arya during that year. He crossed 1,000 runs overall for Punjab Kings during the season.
In the early part of IPL 2026, Prabhsimran had big innings like 80 off 39 balls against Mumbai Indians and 51 off 25 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In domestic cricket, he was also part of the Punjab squad that won the 2023–24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In the 2025–26 Vijay Hazare Trophy, he scored 443 runs in nine matches, including five half-centuries.
5 Fun Facts You Didn’t Know About Prabhsimran Singh
Idolizes Dhoni and Gilchrist, Not Modern Stars
While most young batters copy today’s power-hitters, Prabhsimran looks to the past. He models his fearless batting on Virender Sehwag. He studies MS Dhoni and Adam Gilchrist for wicketkeeping. He watches these legends to shape his own glovework. Old-school idols for a new-school star. That’s his quiet formula.
‘Ghar Ka Khana’ Is His Secret Weapon
Punjab Kings believe home-cooked food is Prabhsimran’s secret weapon. Coach Ricky Ponting once invited his mother to feed the team her famous Punjabi cuisine. In IPL 2025, that “magic meal” helped him score five fifties in a row. The ritual was repeated in 2026, leading to an unbeaten 80 against Mumbai Indians. Never underestimate a mother’s cooking.
The Viral ‘Shirtless’ Shut Down
In May 2026, ugly rumors spread that Prabhsimran had gained 10 kilograms during the season. He didn’t call a press conference. Instead, he posted a shirtless photo on Instagram showing his lean, fit physique, added a shushing emoji, and left his critics completely speechless. Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words – especially when it’s a flex.
Scored a Century on First-Class Debut
Most batters need time to settle into red-ball cricket. Not Prabhsimran. In February 2022, playing his very first Ranji Trophy match for Punjab, he smashed a remarkable 123 runs in the first innings. That knock proved he was far more than just a T20 slogger. A technically sound batter with immense temperament – announced on day one.
An Uncapped Record Like Suryakumar Yadav
It’s rare for an uncapped Indian batter to dominate IPL consistently. Prabhsimran has done exactly that. He became only the third uncapped Indian batter in history – after Suryakumar Yadav and Abhishek Sharma – to record multiple 400-plus run seasons. In 2026, he also became the first uncapped player to score 500+ runs in two separate IPL seasons. Elite company.
