As the IPL action intensifies, Punjab Kings (PBKS) have taken a soulful pause in the hills with a spiritual detour during their campaign. Currently based in Dharamsala for their home fixtures at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium, the team is gearing up for their next match against Delhi Capitals with a unique blend of preparation—cricket and calmness.
Ahead of the high-stakes game, PBKS players Harpreet Brar and Prabhsimran Singh made a heartfelt visit to McLeod Ganj, where they met with Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. The players sought his blessings, hoping to draw strength and clarity as they look to secure a much-needed victory in the tournament.
A video of their serene meeting has since gone viral, capturing the touching moment of sports meeting spirituality. The gesture reflects the team’s grounded mindset and their efforts to stay mentally focused amid the intensity of the IPL.
The picturesque setting of Dharamsala, with its cool mountain breeze and spiritual calm, offers a refreshing contrast to the usual hustle of cricket stadiums. Punjab Kings have already played one match at the HPCA Stadium and are embracing the tranquil atmosphere as a part of their holistic preparation strategy.
As they get ready to take on Delhi Capitals, the blessings of the Dalai Lama may just be the spiritual boost PBKS needs to turn their campaign around.
