Prabhsimran Singh hopes to fulfill his dream of winning the IPL trophy this year after retention

Following the retention announcement, Prabhsimran expressed his gratitude to everyone who has placed their trust in him. The talented wicketkeeper-batter stated that he is committed to adding maximum value to his team and will give his best effort on the field.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has placed their trust in me. After being retained, my first thought was to add value to my side, and I will try my best to win as many games as possible for the team," Prabhsimran was quoted in a release from Punjab Kings as saying.

The Punjab-born player's association with the franchise holds special significance, as he represents Punjab in domestic cricket as well.

"My journey with Punjab Kings has been long and rewarding as I also play for Punjab at the domestic level, and it has been six years in the IPL with Punjab Kings. I have learned a lot, and the team has made me a better player," he added.

"Our fans are also very loyal; they support us through thick and thin, so it will be good to win the trophy for them," Prabhsimran added.

Looking ahead to IPL 2025, Prabhsimran's focus remains on team success. "As a player, my only goal is to win games for the side. Winning the IPL trophy is a dream, and hopefully, this dream will turn into a reality this year."

Punjab Kings finished ninth in the 2024 IPL season. The team has not reached the playoffs since 2014 when they finished as runners-up.

Earlier, Punjab Kings appointed Ricky Ponting as their head coach. The former Australian skipper will take charge from the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League onwards.
