Shashank Singh… is the player on whom the trust of Punjab Kings was once shaken. There was controversy, but it is said that every player’s destiny is decided. Something similar happened with Shashank Singh; he did what every player dreams of doing on Thursday.
Due to his explosive innings, Shashank Singh of Chhattisgarh crossed the target of 200 runs against Gujarat Titans in the 17th match of IPL 2024. In his unbeaten innings, he hit six fours and 4 sixes in 29 balls and scored 61 runs at a strike rate of more than 210. After this brilliant innings of Shashank, social media is the bomb. The corridors of cricket are echoing with his praise.
Shashank Singh Out Of Syllabus
On social media, users are reading ballads in his praise. One user said- Shashank Singh has come out of the syllabus. Gujarat Titans had prepared for Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow, but these players were out of the syllabus. Commentator Akash Chopra also made a similar comment.
One user wrote – Bought it by mistake, but Shashank Singh, you are the best.
One user wrote – that PBKS bought Shashank Singh by mistake. They wanted to release him in the auction, but now he is proving himself and playing a match-winning inning against GT.
Irfan Pathan Also Praised
Irfan Pathan also praised Shashank Singh. He wrote on X that Shashank Singh showed a strong power game today. These are the same ones that Punjab disputed during the auction.
