Punjab Kings played against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Friday evening.

The uncapped duo stitched up a 120-run opening partnership to clear Punjab's way to a daunting 201/4, especially after the wicket turned its nature and shifted to a slower side. Priyansh, with a mood of bellicosity, hammered 69 from 36 deliveries with a whopping eight fours and four towering maximums.

Prabhsimran made KKR bowlers tilt at windmills, with his 83(49) with six boundaries and as many maximums.

Despite putting up a fighting total, relentless rain in Kolkata denied Punjab the opportunity to defend it. The match was called off.

Now, Punjab will next travel to Chepauk Stadium in Chennai to face off against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday.

These young guns are absolutely killing it! šŸ”„ Prabhsimran's consistency and Priyansh's fearless debut - what a combo! PBKS might have found their long-term opening pair. Just wish the rain hadn't ruined what could've been an epic finish.

Preity Zinta's support for her players is so wholesome! You can tell she genuinely cares about the team. The way she nurtures young talent is commendable. More franchise owners should take notes!

While the batting was impressive, I think PBKS still needs to work on their bowling lineup. These big totals won't mean much if they can't defend them. But credit where it's due - these openers are special!

That partnership was pure fire! šŸŽ† 120 runs in just 12 overs against KKR's bowling attack? These kids have nerves of steel. Can't wait to see them play against CSK next week!

As a long-time PBKS fan, this is the most excited I've been about our batting lineup in years. Finally some young Indian talent getting the platform they deserve. Hope they keep this form going!
