Punjab's campaign in the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy has been nothing short of spectacular. Prabhsimran Singh and Abhishek Sharma have been in terrific form for the team. Opening together, the pair have piled up runs for Punjab in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Prabhsimran's bubbly form is the talk of the town. The 24-year-old right-hander has scored three centuries in a row, the latest being a magnificent 137 against Hyderabad. Meanwhile, his left-arm partner Abhishek has consistently provided fiery starts, ensuring that Punjab stay ahead in the race.
The threefold pleasure of Prabhsimran
Prabhsimran Singh is crashing like a man on a mission. Against Hyderabad, he hit 137 runs off 105 balls, smashing the boundary 20 times and clearing it thrice. His flows were a perfect blend of controlled aggression and calculated risk.
This was not a one-off performance. Before Hyderabad, he dismantled Mumbai and Saurashtra with centuries that showcased his versatility and hunger for runs. His current triple hundred belt cements his status as one of India's brightest prospects.
Record breaking partnerships
Prabhsimran and Abhishek have been a nightmare for bowlers this season. The pair put up a 298-run stand against Saurashtra earlier and completely destroyed their bowlers.
Even their “rest days” have been exceptional. A 150-run opening partnership against Mumbai and a solid 196-run stand against Hyderabad highlight their synergy. Their ability to build big partnerships is propelling Punjab's march into the knockout stages.
Eyes on the call of India
The duo's performances are making a strong case for national selection. with Rohit Sharma AND Virat Kohli likely to cease in the future INDIA vs. England series, opportunities for fresh faces may arise.

Resources inside BCCI hints that the squads for both the England series and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be announced by January 12. While the Champions Trophy may be long, the England series could see these two stars wearing the Indian jersey.
