Wicketkeeper batsman of Punjab Kings (PBKS) Prabhsimran Singh The recent rumors about the franchise camp have been put to rest after he shared a bold social media post in the middle of the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Over the past few days, several reports have claimed that Punjab Kings' recent decline is linked to poor discipline within the team. Reports alleged that many players were spending late nights gaming, missing training sessions and failing to maintain fitness standards, contributing to the team's four-match losing streak after a strong start to the campaign.
One particular claim that caught attention was that Prabhasimran had gained “10 kilos in seven days”. However, the wicketkeeper-batsman responded in his own style by posting a shirtless picture on social media, which appears to be showing off his physique from the waterfalls of Dharamshala. He also added a '🤫' emoji to the post, sending a clear message to those who are spreading false stories as described by the franchise.
Now it's fun.

Earlier on Wednesday, PBKS co-owner Preity Zinta strongly denied these reports and called them baseless and misleading. The franchise said the atmosphere within the camp remains positive despite recent setbacks, in which they have lost their four recent matches after an unbeaten start to the campaign.
Prabhasimran has been one of the standout performers for PBKS this season. The aggressive opening batsman has scored 382 runs in 11 matches and is currently the team's second-highest run-scorer behind Cooper Connolly.
Despite his decline in form, PBKS Still strongly in contention for a playoff spot. The Shreyas Iyer-led side is currently placed fourth on the IPL 2026 points table with six wins from 11 matches. Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad have moved up to third after a strong turnaround in recent games, while Gujarat Titans are ahead of Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Iyer and Co. will now face five-time champions Mumbai Indians in their upcoming encounter on May 14 at the HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala. They need a win to stay in the competition, while Hardik Pandya's MI are already out.
