Kolkata, April 27 (PTI) Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh shows ‘greater maturity’ this IPL season and pays the belief shown in him by team management, and believes their spin -bowling coach is Sunil Joshi. The seasoned Punjab batter began carefully in the latter half of its innings to the top with a 49-ball 83, and led them on Saturday to 201 for four against Kolkata Knight Riders. Prabhsimran, who was at 34 balls at some point, accelerated brilliantly to achieve 49 runs in his next 17 deliveries. “I think it’s all about confidence. In the preseason, how much volume he is very important to his batting. Of course, a positive environment with (head coach) Ricky (Ponting) and the batting coaching staff did really well,” Joshi said after Rain stripped their match with KKR at 7/0. Prabhsimran, who has been part of his IPL debut since his IPL debut in 2019, was one of the players retained by PBK’s before the Mega auction. “He also performed in white -ball format throughout. Last year he also showed consistency and the numbers show it. But this year he is more mature. He was also part of an upcoming team. So, the confidence also contributed to him,” Joshi said. While Prabhsimran reinvented his touch, the youngster Priyansh kept impressing, and hammering a 35-ball 69 while the duo stuck a 120-run commander for the opening wicket. Arya, who made a century against Chennai Super Kings, was one of the biggest finds of PBKs this season and played the early aggressor in the entertaining partnership. “They are exciting players. Prabhsimran is an experienced champion. He is more experienced. He has come up with successful good plans for today. It’s a long way forward for both,” Joshi said. The openers’ strategy to start carefully and then moving aggressively gears, together with clear communication, was extremely important, Joshi pointed out. “I think the credit should be given to both, they knocked on the pitch conditions, took calculated runs and had many positive approaches.” Of course, at this level, it is very simple keywords – situation, conditions, pitch conditions, how they act, and accordingly you can plan shots. So it was a good communication from the coaching staff, “he said.” The communication is also very clear from captain and coach, head coach and coaching staff. That’s why we invest in the players. “The way in which PBKS opener KKR’s Spinduo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy tackled was a striking feature. If they take calculated risks, they managed to dominate without losing wickets as PBKs 72 runs between the bowlers 10 and 15 Spell plan and your dynamics as your first bowl and when you bowled second and our batsmen very well adapted to the conditions, “Joshi said. On the washout, Joshi said,” I think we can’t be against the nature. We must accept it. If the game would have been, it would have been a good game. ” There was an opportunity for two points, but yes, we must accept that we have got one.
