Sudoku 21: Thermo Sudoku

I wish a very happy birthday to Pranav Kamesh. In the Indian sudoku & puzzling community, this name needs no introduction. At such a young age Pranav has attained so many feats. On a personal level, Pranav is the closest to me among the 5 champs who had started sudokuing with me. If you like a sudoku on this blog, you should thank Pranav as well. More than 60% of the sudokus till date have been tested by Pranav.
Here is a Thermo Sudoku with Pranav's initials as a theme.
Rules: Classic Sudoku rules apply. Additionally the digits in the thermometer shapes must be strictly increasing in each cell from the round bulb to the flat end.

Sudoku 17: Killer Sudoku

I wish you all a very happy new year. Hope you all have a great year and life ahead.
As the year 2019 is beginning today, I'm posting a Killer Sudoku with the Theme 20-19. 
Though I had created this sudoku before the IB was published, Killer Sudoku is also a part of the upcoming Sudoku GP. I hope this serves as a good practice.
