PrabhSimran Singh is an explosive wicket-keeper batsman and started playing serious cricket at the tender age of 8. He scored truckload of runs for Punjab at different age groups.PrabhSimran Singh put in the hard yards and grabbed the attention of the selectors by carting a magnificent 298 in the Punjab U-23 district tournament for Patiala and his wait for the national call-up finally ended when was roped into the team for the ACC U-19 Asia Cup. PrabhSimran's IPL dream came true when he was bought by Kings XI Punjab for a lip-smacking sum of 4.8 Crores.

Padikkal to the Star Sports Broadcasters said, "The momentum with us and we were hitting the ball well. Once we got into that rhythm we had to keep going as long as we could. We knew that the new batsman would take some time. So we wanted to continue that partnership and go as deep as possible. We both were playing to each other's strengths and rotating the strike and that really helped. Last year there were so many learnings for me from the season, each match gave me something new. Last year was a great experience and coming into this season I was much more confident. I was sure about myself and about my shots, that really helps in this kind of a tournament. We have some great players in our domestic team Karnataka. Having such great cricketers (like AB and Virat) around me makes me want to play even more better."

In a pursuit to get back on the top of the points table, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a much-awaited clash at the Narendra Modi cricket stadium on Friday. Pulling a one-run thrilling victory over the might Delhi Capitals, Virat Kohli & Co. are high on confidence and will be looking to keep the winning momentum going against KL Rahul's XI.
On the other hand, KL Rahul-led side PBKS suffered a heavy defeat from the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders at the same venue. Punjab has been going through batting as well as bowling worries as the franchise is not able to score a big total on the scoreboard. Looking at the bowling department, the Kings are also struggling with their overseas fast bowlers as they rested both Meredith and Richardson which they bought at a high price during the IPL 2021 mini auctions.
However, Punjab Kings have the better head-to-head record against Virat Kohli’s side, and also won both games in the UAE in IPL 2020. In its last IPL meeting, Punjab Kings who used to be called KXIP (Kings Eleven Punjab) prevailed over Royal Challengers Bangalore by eight wickets in Sharjah. A 48 from skipper Virat Kohli and an unbeaten 25 from Chris Morris helped RCB reach 171/6 in 20 overs. In reply, KL Rahul's unbeaten 61 and Chris Gayle's 45-ball 53 helped the Punjab Kings clinch an eight-wicket win. In the other fixture of the same edition, PBKS beat RCB by 97 runs.

The pitch in Ahmedabad has been an excellent one for batting. The track has helped the slower bowlers to some extent, if not a whole lot. Batting second should be the way forward.
