Meet Shashank Singh, Punjab Kings' accidental hero against Gujarat Titans

Punjab Kings scripted history in the IPL on Thursday as they chased the target of 200 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad against Gujarat Titans and interestingly their hero of the evening was a player that they seemed to offload at the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai. Shashank Singh turned out to be the hero for Punjab Kings on Thursday after the Shikhar Dhawan-led side was reeling at 70/4 in 8.4 overs. The Curious Case of Shashank Singh Shashank, who plays for Chhattisgarh in the domestic circuit, was bought by PBKS at the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai at his base price of Rs 20 lakhs. However, the PBKS management seemed confused and requested the auctioneer Mallika Sagar for a provision to offload the guy stating, he wasn't the Shashank whom they were after.
