The all-rounder was also the star performer for Mumbai in SMAT 2024
Punjab Kings youngster Suryansh Shedge was on Monday appointed captain of Mumbai Emerging team (Under 23) for a tour of England which is scheduled for the English summer.
Shedge made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut in the 2025 season after being picked by Punjab Kings in the November auction for INR 30 lakh.
The all-rounder made his debut against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad and went on to play five games in total for PBKS. He got the chance to bat three times and registered scores of 2, 4, 1. He also bowled three overs against Chennai Super Kings at the Chepauk and gave away 40 runs without a wicket.
Shedge was picked for the IPL after a sensational debut senior season with Mumbai as they won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. In the group match against Nagaland, Shedge smashed 12 not out from three balls which set the tone for the tournament. Against Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai were chasing a steep target of 230. As they kept losing wickets at the end, Shedge smashed three sixes and two boundaries in his 8-ball 30 to win the match with three balls to spare.
