Shashank Singh played a blinder to win the game for his team, Punjab Kings (PBKS), out of nowhere against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. When he came out to bat, PBKS were in a spot of bother and required another 130 runs in 11.2 overs with four wickets already down.

However, Shashank did the rescue work for PBKS and kept them in the chase by hitting consistent boundaries. While Sikandar Raza couldn’t provide him with much support, Jitesh Sharma first and Ashutosh Sharma later did a fabulous job of taking the innings forward.

Shashank completed fifty in just 25 balls but was determined to take his team over the line and didn’t celebrate excessively. He kept batting and was really hitting them well against a few quality and seasoned bowlers of GT.
