Priyansh Arya handled him in a similar manner in the second over and clobbered the right-arm pacer for consecutive sixes and a boundary. Prabhsimran then signed off the over with a brilliant hit and conceded 23 runs in his second over. He returned to the bowling in the 13th over and was hit by a four each by Shreyas Iyer and Nehal Wadhera.
