PBKS vs DC: Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh eyes rare IPL feat against Delhi Capitals; details here
Prabhsimran Singh is not a novice to the Indian Premier League. He made his IPL debut in 2019 and has been associated with the Punjab Kings for the last seven years. Many players who made their IPL debut after him have made it big with the national side. Prabhsimran Singh remains uncapped. He may not remain uncapped for too long after his fabulous performance in the ongoing IPL season. But he got the opportunity to break a big record as an uncapped player.
Prabhsimran Singh has scored 437 runs in 11 innings this season. He needs just 63 runs to become the 6th uncapped player to have scored 500 runs in an IPL season. Let's have a look at the five players who achieved the unique feat.
Shaun Marsh is the only overseas uncapped player to score 500 runs in an IPL season. His 616 runs in the inaugural season also fetched him the orange cap. Marsh made his International debut within a few days of the completion of IPL 2008.
The next entry to the list came after 10 years. Suryakumar Yadav returned to Mumbai Indians after a gap of six years and ensured that it was a memorable one. He scored 518 runs in the season. He even won back-to-back IPL titles in 2019 and 2020, scoring 424 and 480 runs, respectively. However, the Indian cap remained elusive. The current captain of the Indian T20 team eventually made his international debut in 2021 and shed his uncapped player tag.
Ishan Kishan became the third uncapped player to score more than 500 runs in an IPL season. Kishan scored 516 runs for Mumbai Indians in 2020 and played a starring role in MI's fifth IPL triumph. He made his international debut ahead of the next IPL season.
Yashasvi Jaiswal made his IPL debut in 2020 and scored 547 runs in his first three seasons combined. He crossed the combined tally in a single season in 2023. Yashasvi became the first uncapped batter to cross 600 runs in a season. His 625 runs are the most by an uncapped batter in a season. Yashasvi made his international debut in July 2023.
Riyan Parag made his IPL debut in 2019 and managed just 600 runs in his first five IPL seasons. He nearly managed to double his career numbers in a single season in 2024. Parag smashed 573 runs and soon earned his international cap.
Punjab Kings have three more league games remaining, and one can expect Prabhsimran to score 63 runs and cross the 500-run mark. The number of matches may go up if Punjab Kings reach the playoffs and go further in the tournament.

Kagiso Rabada accepts responsibility for doping ban over alleged cocaine use, says ‘I didn't try to…'
Kagiso Rabada was in dominant form during Day 1 of the ongoing WTC final between South Africa and Australia. The pacer took fiv wickets with figures of 5/51 in 15.4 overs as the Proteas bundled out the Aussies for 212. After Day 1, Rabada was asked if he had any extra motivation for the ongoing WTC final, as he also recently survived a doping ban. 'Yeah, obviously it wasn't my best moment, as I've alluded to. Now, life moves on. I think every game that I play for South Africa, I try to do my best. I didn't try to give any more or any less effort than I usually do in all the games that I play for South Africa. So that's all I tried to do today,' Rabada said. Rabada had to leave the GT squad after only two IPL 2025 matches, and left for South Africa, citing personal reasons. But then to the shock of fans, he later revealed that he was serving a one-month ban due to alleged cocaine use. The doping test took place when Rabada was participating at the SA20. Meanwhile, he also accepted the short suspension and didn't reject it. In a press conference, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said, 'It's definitely a motivation. It's been a couple of weeks now that everything has unfolded.' 'He had a conversation with the team and put himself on the spot for further questioning from any of the players. As far as we are concerned, that's kind of behind us, we really come here with the focus of what we need to do. 'And I think he's in the best shape that he's ever been. Playing against the Australians as well, that'll be extra motivation for him. I think he's in a very good space,' he added.

Pakistan to suffer again, PSL 2026 to clash with IPL 2026 due to...
In these collection of pictures, we find out the reason why PSL 2026 season will once again clash with the IPL 2026 season next year. IPL 2025 season clashed with PSL 2025 this year since the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was scheduled in Pakistan's T20 league window. Pakistan cricket board struggled to bring foreign players for PSL 2025 since most of top players were taking part in IPL 2025. Some players quit PSL 2025 mid-way to take part in IPL 2025. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) PSL 2026 is also scheduled to clash with IPL 2026 next year since the ICC have scheduled T20 World Cup 2026 in India in February-March next year. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) PSL 2026 will have to be held in April-May window because PCB have already given NOC to players to take part in BBL 2025-26 in December-January. ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is scheduled to take place in India and will probably be held with a 'hybrid' model with Pakistan's matches taking place outside India. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Shaheen Afridi's Lahore Qalandars became PSL 2025 champions last month with a win over Quetta Gladiators. "There is a window available to the Pakistan board in December and first half of January but it has already given NOCs to Pakistani players to play in the Big Bash in Australia in this period and has also planned some domestic activities. So the discussion now with the franchise owners is to prepare for the PSL to be held in April-May just like this year," a PCB source was quoted as saying by PTI.
