IPL 2024: Shashank Singh gets the job done, Punjab Kings win

Published by

Shashank Singh, who was part of a dramatic auction story, pulled off a stunning run-chase for Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

Shubman Gill smashed a brilliant 89* off 48 balls to power Gujarat Titans to 199/4. In the run-chase, Punjab kept losing wickets at regular intervals but Shashank, along with a fine cameo from Impact Sub Ashutosh Sharma, powered his side home to the target with a ball to spare.

Gill’s stroke-filled knock, along with a late cameo by Rahul Tewatia, saw Gujarat punish some ordinary bowling in the backend. Punjab conceded 65 runs in the last 5 overs. But in the end, Gill and Co were left ruing some dropped catches and poor death bowling.

Earlier, Punjab Kings opted to bowl first. Both teams missed out on their middle-order heavy-hitters, with Liam Livingstone (PBKS) and David Miller (GT) missing out. Sikandar Raza and Kane Williamson get their first matches of the IPL season.
