IPL 2024: Picked By 'mistake' In Auction Shashank Singh Stars For PBKS With 8-ball Cameo
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: At the end of the auction for the Indian Premier League's 2024 edition in December 2023, Punjab Kings were left red-faced when they got confused over the name of a player and reportedly picked the wrong one. They were prevented by the auctioneer from changing the player as the hammer had come down on the sale.
It was claimed that the Punjab Kings management had bought the wrong Shashank Singh for Rs 20 lakh, picking up a 32-year-old who plays for Chhattisgarh, instead of the 19-year-old batter they had originally planned to rope in.
On Monday, the 'unwanted' Shashank Singh showed the franchise that mistake would not cost them a lot as he smashed an 8-ball unbeaten 21 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a high-octane clash at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
