Prabhsimran Singh – The IPL’s Hidden Gem Backed by Ponting
Alright, let’s talk about one of the most exciting talents in the IPL right now – Prabhsimran Singh. If you’ve been following the Punjab Kings, you’ll know this young batter has been in their setup for a while, but this season, expectations are sky-high. And when someone like Ricky Ponting, the legendary Australian cricketer and now the head coach of PBKS, says he is ‘one of the most talented players in the IPL,’ you have to sit up and take notice.
Ahead of the IPL 2025 season, Ponting made it very clear that Prabhsimran is a player he’s keeping a close eye on. And honestly, that’s a big statement considering the pool of talent in this tournament. Ponting even went as far as saying that skill-wise, the 24-year-old is right up there with the best in the league. Now, that’s some serious praise coming from a cricketing great.

Let’s put things into perspective. Punjab Kings decided to retain Prabhsimran ahead of the mega auction – a bold move that shows just how much faith they have in him. While he has shown glimpses of his potential in previous seasons, he hasn’t had that one defining year yet. But with the backing of Ponting and the team’s management, this could finally be his breakout season.
What’s even more exciting is that PBKS will start their campaign against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. With all eyes on the young batter, it will be interesting to see if he can deliver on the big stage. The pressure is on, but if Ponting’s belief in him is anything to go by, we might be in for something special.
Apart from Prabhsimran, another name to watch out for in PBKS is Marco Jansen. Ponting labeled him as the most underrated player in the squad, and considering how he’s performed in international cricket, he could be a real asset for Punjab this season. Bought for a whopping INR 7 crore at the mega auction, Jansen’s all-round abilities could be a game-changer.
So, here we are, just at the beginning of another thrilling IPL season. With Ponting putting the spotlight on Prabhsimran, the stage is set for the youngster to make his mark. Will he live up to the hype? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – he’s got the talent, the backing, and the perfect platform to shine.
