The IPL is the best platform for many young athletes. Many talented cricketers have showcased their skills when given the opportunity. Since its inception in 2008 to now in 2025, the IPL has been producing one asset after another. Now added to that list is Punjab Kings’ batsman Shashank Singh.
In the past two IPL seasons, Shashank has been a match-winner for Punjab Kings. Before joining Punjab, he was part of teams like Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. A skilled finisher, this talented player went unsold in the 2023 IPL auction. However, in 2024, Punjab bought him at base price—and now, he’s become an important member of the team.
He has won several matches for Punjab Kings. Fans will not forget his explosive 61-run innings in the IPL final this year against RCB. Chasing a target of 191, many star batters were dismissed early, but Shashank rose to the occasion. Even though RCB went on to win the championship and many players were in the limelight, Shashank’s name faded from the spotlight.
A silent hero, he has continued to deliver success after success, batting according to the team’s needs. With his ability to read the game and finish matches, discussions have now begun about whether it’s time for him to be given a chance in Team India’s T20 squad.
