Punjab’s campaign in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 has been nothing short of spectacular. Prabhsimran Singh and Abhishek Sharma have been in blistering form for the team. Opening together, the duo has piled up runs for Punjab in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Prabhsimran’s blistering form is the talk of the town. The 24-year-old right-hander has hammered three consecutive centuries, the latest being a majestic 137 against Hyderabad. Meanwhile, his left-handed partner, Abhishek, has consistently provided fiery starts, ensuring Punjab stays ahead in the competition.
Prabhsimran’s Triple Delight
Prabhsimran Singh is batting like a man on a mission. Against Hyderabad, he smashed 137 runs off 105 balls, peppering the boundary 20 times and clearing it thrice. His innings was a perfect blend of controlled aggression and calculated risk.
This wasn’t a one-off performance. Prior to Hyderabad, he dismantled Mumbai and Saurashtra with centuries that showcased his versatility and hunger for runs. His current streak of three hundreds cements his status as one of India’s brightest batting prospects.
Record-Breaking Partnerships
Prabhsimran and Abhishek have been a nightmare for bowlers this season. The duo put up a 298-run stand against Saurashtra earlier and completely decimated their bowlers.
Even their “off days” have been exceptional. A 150-run opening partnership against Mumbai and a solid 196-run stand against Hyderabad highlight their synergy. Their ability to build big partnerships is driving Punjab’s march to the knockout stages.
Eyes on the India Call-Up
The duo’s performances are making a strong case for national selection. With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli likely to rest during the upcoming India vs. England series, opportunities could arise for fresh faces.

Prabhsimran’s astonishing average of 118 and strike rate of 135 make him a standout candidate. Abhishek, too, with an average of 66 and a strike rate over 140, is catching the selectors’ attention.
Sources within the BCCI hint that the squads for both the England series and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be announced by January 12. While the Champions Trophy might be a stretch, the England series could see these two stars donning the Indian jersey.
