What is PBKS batter Shashank Singh's IPL 2024 salary?

Shashank Singh played a heroic knock of 61* runs off 29 balls against Gujarat Titans to help his side chase down 200 runs.

He had come out to bat in the ninth over of the innings when PBKS were 70/4 and needed 130 more runs off only 68 deliveries.

Since then he made sure to stitch partnerships with Jitesh Sharma and Ashutosh Sharma who smashed 16 and 31 runs respectively in quick time.

However, Shashank Singh made sure to stick around till the end and won the game for his side that seemed impossible at the halfway stage of the chase.

Shashank Singh can be called accidental hero of Punjab Kings as there was a lot of confusion around him at the auction. At one stage, it felt that PBKS had mistakenly picked him but later clarified that they got the right player in the squad.

Shashank Singh was signed by PBKS for his base price of INR 20 lakh and the cricketer has already paid dividends for the faith showed in him. He is bound to get more chances now and will be keen on continuing in the same vein in the upcoming matches.

Very few are aware that Shashank Singh played for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) too before and had smashed Lockie Ferguson for three sixes in a single over in IPL 2022. Clearly, he continues to live up to his big hitting reputation.
