The victory chariot of Trident Stallions continues in PCA’s Sher-e-Punjab T20 Cup. The team defeated Agri King’s Knights by 3 wickets to register their 5th consecutive win and made it to the top of the points table.
The star of this victory was Prabhsimran Singh, who ensured victory by playing a captaincy innings of 122 runs. Wickets were falling from one end, but the captain stood firm.
Prabhsimran Singh said about the innings that this century is very special for me because due to this our team won. I consider this century to be one of the top-3 centuries of my T20 career, because wickets were falling from one end.
I felt that wickets have to be saved as well as runs have to be scored. I believed in my ability and due to this we got the victory. In reply to Agri King’s Knights’ 184/7 runs, Trident Stallions scored 188/7 in 19 overs. Prabhsimran Singh scored 122 runs in this.
Prabhsimran hit 7 fours and 11 sixes in his 62-ball innings. He said that my plan was to stay on the pitch. We could not score runs in the powerplay because wickets fell. We only scored runs in the last over of the powerplay.
After wickets fall, it is the responsibility of the senior player to stay firm and play an important innings for the team. This does not put pressure on the youngsters and that is what I tried to do.
This match was challenging for the captain. He said that the way Agri King’s Knights were scoring runs, it seemed that the score would go above 200. Senior bowler Baltej Singh was injured, but Ramandeep handled the team well.
We stopped them before 200. After this Ramandeep also contributed in batting and the result was in front of everyone that we managed to win.
Prabhsimran Singh said that our effort is to not put pressure on the young players. You will see that the bowlers of the team are performing well. If we talk about Gurnoor Brar, he has got wickets in every match.
It is important that the balance of the team remains. If the bowlers are not used properly then there will be pressure on the batting.
When the score on the board is less than 200, then there is no pressure on the batting. Vihaan also got injured, so Manpreet was given a chance in his place. He is also a good player and the team has a lot of expectations from him.
