Punjab Kings have slipped to fourth spot after 4 consectuive losses in IPL 2026.
Ahead of their next game against the Mumbai Indians (MI) on May 14, PBKS' opening batter sent a vital message to fans, even if they are still in control of playoff qualification. One of the team's most promising batters so far this season is Prabhsimran, who has amassed 382 runs in 11 games.
But he hasn't been able to recapture his best form in the last three games. Prabhsimran has failed to give the team the explosive beginnings they need, scoring 15, 3, and 18 against Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Delhi Capitals.
Ahead of the upcoming clash against MI, the 25-year-old Prabhsimran urged fans to turn out in large numbers to support the team in Dharamsala.
"Sat Sri Akal, Sher Squad! I'm speaking to you from Dharamsala. We've certainly lost four matches, but we're still fourth on the table, and we'll make sure to qualify and lift the trophy. I can only say that your support is very important to us. Support us and turn Dharamsala red. The next match is against Mumbai; we have to win it and make a comeback from there. We will lift the trophy. Support us; your support is very much needed," Prabhsimran said in a video posted by PBKS.
With six wins, four defeats, and one no-result in their first 11 matches, Punjab Kings currently sit fourth in the points table. But Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) are closing in on the 5th and 6th spots, respectively. They cannot afford to lose any more games, and a win is needed against MI to remain in contention for the playoffs.
