If the KL Rahul and Nitish Rana destruction was not enough for the DC vs PBKS clash on April 25, Prabhsimran Singh slammed an over of consecutive boundaries off Mukesh Kumar in the last over of Punjab Kings' powerplay.

As Mukesh Kumar bowled him the final over of the powerplay, Prabhsimran Singh slammed him for four consecutive boundaries, making Kumar concede 24 runs in the last over of the powerplay, as Prabhsimran ended at 71 off just 23 balls in Mukesh Kumar's over.
How Prabhsimran Punished Mukesh In The last Over of The Powerplay
The very first delivery from Mukesh Kumar was slammed through the covers by Prabhsimran as he just completed his half-century from 18 deliveries. The next ball, which was pitched at a short length around the off-side of the wicket, saw Prabhsimran Singh pull it away through mid-wicket for another boundary.
The next delivery was a full-length ball from Kumar, which had Prabhsimran dance down the track to slam it over the top of the covers for a boundary. The fourth ball met with the same fate as a full and wide outside-off delivery was banged over the top of short third man for a boundary.
