I look forward to helping Punjab win their first IPL title: Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh, a renowned bowler for the Punjab Kings (PBKS), has spoken out about helping his side win the ongoing IPL 2025 season.

PBKS will face the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Qualifier 2, which will be held on Sunday, June 1 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. MI won the Eliminator by 20 runs over the Gujarat Titans (GT).

Arshdeep is a veteran bowler who has played an important role for the club in both powerplays and death overs. He is one of those pacers who keeps his line and length while troubling the batters. As a result, having him around has helped PBKS win numerous games in the past.

The left-handed bowler stated his intentions ahead of Qualifier 2. PBKS lost Qualifier 1 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), but they will undoubtedly hope to advance to the finals with a victory on Sunday.

“When I get an opportunity, whether the team is under pressure and we need to stop runs or take wickets, I feel happy because they believe me. So, regardless of the stage, I like the responsibilities I am given. And at that point, I try not to feel the pressure and instead enjoy the moment and deliver good outcomes for the squad,” Arshdeep Singh told JioHotStar.

“And in this season, I’m looking forward to helping Punjab win their first title in IPL and create a legacy for Punjab Kings in the coming years by doing well for them,” he told reporters.

Can Punjab Kings beat Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2?

Mumbai Indians (MI) haven’t won a single game at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. It will be a tough nut to crack for Hardik Pandya and Co., even though they are in great form. If we speak about the previous records, MI have always outplayed the opponents in knockout matches.

So, there is a high chance that they might beat PBKS and qualify for the finals. On the other hand, PBKS are a strong team with a balanced playing XI. If they utilise the match conditions properly, unlike the previous game, they have an upper edge over MI. This will be an interesting match to watch for the fans of both the franchises.
