Punjab Kings (PBKS) opening batter Prabhsimran Singh has been in tremendous touch in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The 22-year-old made headlines by scoring his maiden IPL hundred in match number 59 of the season. Because of his knock, PBKS posted a total of 167 runs for the loss of 7 wickets.

DC skipper David Warner won the toss and asked PBKS to bat first. PBKS didn’t have a great start as they lost their skipper Shikhar Dhawan for 10 runs in the second over of the match after he decided to take on Ishant Sharma but ended up giving a catch to Rilee Rossouw at deep mid-wicket. A couple of overs later, Ishant struck again as he bowled out Liam Livingstone at a score of 32 runs. In the next over, PBKS suffered a third blow as Axar Patel cleared Jitesh Sharma’s stumps at the 45 runs.

While Prabhsimran took the innings further with wickets falling regularly from the other end. He finally got out in the second ball of the 19th over after scoring 103 runs off 65 balls hitting 10 fours and six sixes. Prabhsimran hit the fifth century of IPL 2023 after Harry Brook, Venkatesh Iyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Suryakumar Yadav. He has amassed 244 runs in the 12 matches played so far including 1 half century and a hundred.
