Preity Zinta: The 17th match of this season of IPL was played on 4th April between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Punjab Kings won the toss and decided to bowl first. And invited Gujarat Titans to bat. Gujarat Titans came to bat. Started quite well but then lost his wicket in the form of Wriddhiman Saha at the score of 29 runs. Nevertheless, thanks to the batting of captain Shubman Gill, Gujarat Titans scored 199 runs in 20 overs.
In reply, when the Punjab Kings team came out to chase this target, it did not start well. Captain Shikhar Dhawan lost his wicket after scoring just 13 runs. And slowly wickets were falling one after the other. And only 111 runs were scored and Punjab Kings lost 5 important wickets. And here the fans of Gujarat Titans started celebrating. But then something happened that no one had thought. Despite Punjab’s condition being so bad, Punjab won this match by 3 wickets. Shashank Singh was the hero of this victory. Let us tell you about him.
Why was there no trust in this player?
Let us tell you that when the IPL auction was held, Preity Zinta had taken Shashank Singh in her team for 20 lakhs. But then Preity Zinta realized that she had invested her money on the wrong player. But when that player won the match on his own in the match between Gujarat and Punjab, then Preity Zinta felt that now her money has been recovered.
Who is Shashank Singh?
Please note that Shashank Singh is a resident of Chhattisgarh. And he played his first IPL for Delhi Capitals in 2022. After that he has played for Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. But whenever he got a chance, if he did not live up to the occasion, the team released him. Have played only 14 matches so far. In which only 160 runs were scored. This was the reason why no team wanted to make him their part.
