Shashank Singh REVEALS Secret Behind Success During GT vs PBKS IPL 2024 Match

Thanking the PBKS management for backing him, he revealed that he does not go by the reputation of the bowler, instead, 'he sees the ball and hits it'.

Ahmedabad: Shashank Singh was the star of the show on Thursday night in Ahmedabad as he guided Punjab Kings to a win over the Titans. Shashank hit a brilliant 61* off 29 balls to see his side over the line. His innings was laced with four sixes and six fours. He came in at a crucial situation in the match, but held his nerves to come up with the goods. The striking was clean, he was also lucky on a couple of occasions during his stay.

Following the three-wicket win, Shashank was awarded the player of the match. Thanking the PBKS management for backing him, he revealed that he does not go by the reputation of the bowler, instead, ‘he sees the ball and hits it’.

“Still trying to sink in, I vision these things but turning it into reality feels great. I play cricketing shots, I bat at No. 7 but today I batted at No. 5. The bounce was very good, 200 scored by both teams so the wicket was fantastic. They are the legends of cricket, I don’t see the names, I react to the ball and play my shots accordingly. Couldn’t get much matches before, last to last year for SRH but the management, the coaching staff here has really backed me and I was very confident,” Shashank said at the post-match presentation.

Chasing 200 runs, Punjab Kings were in a spot of bother with four wickets down inside eight overs and just 70 runs on board. But from thereon, Shashank stitched 41 runs with Sikander Raza, 39 runs with Jitesh Sharma and 43 runs with Ashutosh Sharma to see his team home. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have themselves to blame as the hosts dropped as many four catches to eventually lose the game.
