VHT: Abhishek & Prabhsimran Score Second Highest Opening Stand Of 298-runs
Gujarat College Cricket Ground: Punjab’s opening duo of Abhishek Sharma and Prabhsimran Singh etched their names in the record books with a monumental partnership during their Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Saurashtra on Tuesday at the Gujarat College Cricket Ground in Ahmedabad.
The pair added a scintillating 298 runs for the first wicket, equalling the tournament’s second-highest opening partnership set by Bengal’s Sudip Gharami and Abhimanyu Easwaran in 2022.
Abhishek and Prabhsimran’s partnership, built on an aggressive approach, laid a solid foundation for Punjab's innings. Prabhsimran was the first to reach his century, eventually scoring 125 runs off 95 balls, showcasing his trademark flair with 15 boundaries and three sixes. His partner, Abhishek, was even more dominant, smashing 170 runs off just 96 deliveries. His innings featured 22 fours and eight towering sixes, leaving the Saurashtra bowlers with no answers.
