About Prabhsiman and Priyansh’s partnership
PBKS opener Prabhsimran Singh delivered a smashing performance against KKR, scoring 83 off 49 balls with six fours and six sixes. His partnership with Priyansh Arya set the tone for Punjab’s commanding start. He forged a 120-run opening stand in just 10.3 overs, the joint second-highest opening partnership of IPL 2025 and Punjab’s highest against KKR, surpassing the 116-run stand by Chris Gayle and KL Rahul in 2018.
Their partnership yielded 103 runs by the 10.3-over mark. The match was called off due to rain as both teams shared one point each at the Eden Gardens. Punjab Kings jumped to the fourth spot in the points table while KKR remained in the seventh position.
