Shashank Singh, an in-form Punjab Kings (PBKS) batter, failed to produce against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 encounter at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Sunday (May 5). The youngster scored 27 runs from 20 balls, including four boundaries.
The left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner ended the partnership of 53 runs between Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh.
The dismissal occurred during the eighth over of the PBKS run chase. After being hammered for a boundary on the previous ball, Mitchell Santner brought the length back as Shashank Singh attempted a powerful shot down the ground. The ball dipped and pitched away as the right-hander missed the inside half and holed out to Simarjit Singh at long-on.
