Earlier this season, Kerala Blasters FC’s Korou Singh had become the third-youngest player to start an ISL match when he was named in the starting XI against Hyderabad FC.
However, Pramveer now has the record of being the youngest in this category.
The Shers though slumped to their third-straight defeat in the league leaving them in seventh position, level on points with sixth-placed NorthEast United FC.
Pramveer will hope to get more chances in the upcoming games and thereby an opportunity to cement his place in the team as Punjab FC look to return to their early-season form as the year draws to a close.
