Punjab Kings' Prabhsimran Singh Responds to Critics Amid Team's IPL 2026 Slump
Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh has responded to growing criticism on social media following the team’s four consecutive defeats in IPL 2026, backing the stance taken by franchise co-owner Preity Zinta against misinformation.
After enjoying a seven-match unbeaten streak, Punjab Kings have dramatically collapsed, losing four games in a row, putting their playoff hopes under pressure.
Prabhsimran, who remains the team’s second-highest run-scorer with 382 runs at an average of 42.44, posted an Instagram story with a picture of his physique and a “shushing” emoji, interpreted as a response to critics questioning his fitness and form.
Earlier, Preity Zinta criticised the spread of “fake narratives” around the team, urging responsible reporting. The franchise also issued a statement seeking fact verification before sharing information.
Punjab Kings now face a crucial match against already-eliminated Mumbai Indians in Dharamshala, a must-win to revive their playoff bid amidst a tense race.
