The Match-Winning Knock:
In a display of resilience, Punjab Kings exhibited remarkable determination while chasing a daunting target of 200 runs.

He played an unbeaten knock of 61 runs in just 29 balls. The innings contained 6 boundaries and 4 over-boundaries. He batted with a strike rate of 210.34. That knock secured the desired win for the Punjab Kings.
Shashank’s View:
After that explosive knock, Shashank Singh was awarded the Player of the Match Award. After the match, he opened up. He said, “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.”
While talking about the match, he said, “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.”
About the team management and Supports Stuffs, he said, “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.”
