Prabhsimran Singh Played Beautifully: Brett Lee

During a conversation with fellow commentator Parthiv Patel on Jio Cinema, former Aussie pacer Brett Lee said that Prabhsimran Singh batted beautifully in the match. He also said that it was great to see him reach the 100-run mark from the 40s and 50s.

“He played beautifully. Didn’t he? In fact, he had six sixes tonight. He took on the bowling and swept very well against the spinners and had the opportunity to go down the wicket on a number of occasions. So, for me that’s the best way to play on this wicket. Great to see him go from the 40’s and 50’s up to that magical 100 mark so congratulations to him and also the Punjab Kings,” Brett Lee said.
