Preity Zinta praises Punjab Kings' breakout star Prabhsimran Singh, says he never complained on being benched for years
PUnjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta often takes to her societal media accounts to demonstrate her enjoy for her team up and hearten them on. In the last match on April 16, Punjab Kings defeated Mumbai Indians by seven wickets at the Wankhede Stadium. Prabhsimran Singh was in hot form, smacking an unbeaten knock of 80 runs off 39 balls, packed with 11 fours and two sixes, striking at 205.13. Preity could not stop praising Prabhsimran after a fan posted on the young player's discipline and perseverance over the years.Prabhsimran's journey over the yearsA fan took to X and wrote a long note on Prabhsimran's journey. An excerpt from the post read, "You need to meet Sardar Surjit Singh, his father. Kidney failure. Three sessions a week hooked to machines. The house in Patiala is heavy with it. The only time the old man lights up is when his son opens for Punjab. They carry him to the couch before every game. Position the TV. For 3 hours, the sickness vanishes.Think about that weight. Every boundary is not runs for him, It is medication. Every six is oxygen for an old man. When he says he plays for his father, he means it literally. The single joy in a week of hospital corridors & medical debt." ‘Watching him shine fills me up with so much joy’The fan tribute for Prabhsimran caught the attention of Preity, who replied to the post and wrote, “He is also soft spoken, well behaved and extremely sweet. His mom makes food and brings it to the hotel ( Best Kadi Chawal & Bhartha among other things ) for the entire team every IPL (red heart emotji). I never heard him complain or come late when he sat on the bench. Watching him shine fills me up with so much joy cuz nothing is more rewarding than to see a good guy win. Sorry I couldn’t help commenting on ur write up as it popped up in my timeline.”The 25-year-old wicketkeeper batter from Punjab Kings has dished out standout performances over the past few years. In the last match, he helped his team finish off in style with an unbeaten 80 in just 39 balls, chasing a competitive total of 195 in just 16.3 overs with seven wickets in hand. “Obviously, when I first arrived, I didn’t get many opportunities to play. But over the last three to four years, I’ve been getting chances. Sometimes things go well, sometimes they don’t. I just want to thank Punjab Kings. If they have backed me, then it is my duty to pay them back,” he said.
