During the IPL 2024 match between Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings, the Narendra Modi Stadium witnessed an unreal batting display from Shashank Singh
Shashank Singh is a Chhatisgarh-born cricketer who currently represents Punjab Kings in the cash-rich league. During the 2024 auction of the Indian Premier League, Shashank was mistakenly picked by the Punjab Kings for the Rs. 20 lakh
In previous years, the right-hander has played for Delhi Daredevil, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Apart from this, the 32-year-old Chhatisgarh batsman also has a unique domestic record to his name. In the 2023-24 Vijay Hazare Trophy, he became the first Indian first-class cricketer to score 150 runs and take a five-wicket haul in the same match
Coming to the match, despite the fall of wickets on regular intervals, Shashank Singh stood strong in the middle during the run-chase of humongous 200. He showcased his extraordinary strokes and played an unbeaten knock of 61 runs in just 29 deliveries. His match-winning knock was laced with 6 fours and 4 sixes
With this batting effort, Shashank Singh has scripted an inspirational story for many youngsters. From being an accidental buy in the auctions to becoming a match-winner for the team, Shashank proved his worth in Punjab's dugout
