When Singh led PBKS to victory, people couldn’t stop talking about his heroics, especially considering how he was unexpectedly picked up by an IPL team and finished with $2 million. People also joked about how an “accidental purchase” could be a “contest winner.”

“It was a great game, very, very close; I’m happy the kids did the job. Our plan was to get off to a good start but unfortunately I pulled out but we were at the end of the power play Around 60 runs in, we kept building partnerships and Shashank came in and bowled really well. The way Shashank came on and hit a six was brilliant, the way he batted the ball looked effortless. He started at No. 7 Started and now showed a positive attitude. He is playing in the IPL after a long time and is playing very well. I would also like to mention Ashutosh, he came on and performed brilliantly under pressure,” Dhawan said in his post-match speech.
Following yesterday’s win, PBKS are fifth in the IPL 2024 standings with 4 points. Gujarat Titans are in sixth place with four points.
