Actually, during the match, Shashank Singh was run out by scoring just 2 runs in the 17th over. The incident occurred when Punjab needed 34 runs in 21 balls to win. Shashank played a shot in the direction of mid-on off the ball of Trent Bolt, but was negligent in taking runs. Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya took advantage of this and took a direct hit by picking up the ball fast, and in the replay clearly showed that Shashank did not show fast to complete the run nor tried to dive. His mistake could have made it difficult for Punjab, but Shreyas’s brilliant batting brought the team to victory.
One of the important players of Shashank team
This season has been very good for Shashank Singh. He has scored 289 runs in 13 innings of 16 matches at an average of 41.28. During this time his strike rate has been 145.95. He has finished many matches for the team. He also has to score 2 half -centuries playing in lower order. But he could not do anything special in an important match against Mumbai. Due to which captain Iyer looked angry with him.
