Punjab Kings are having a splendid Indian Premier League 2024 campaign as they have won two out of their four matches this season. They got their second win of the season in stunning fashion as they chased down a massive 200-run target in Ahmedabad against the Gujarat Titans. 

The franchise led by Shikhar Dhawan found themselves in a tough spot after losing four wickets inside nine overs for just 70 runs. The chase was then led by two inexperienced batters, Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, who stole the show with this extraordinary batting ability. The duo took matters into their own hands and ensured an remarkable victory for their team.

Shashank Singh was critical in bringing the side back into the game with his wide range of shots. He was playing this amazing knock without any pressure and even after reaching the milestone of fifty runs, he did not celebrate much as he knew the job was not over just yet. He scored 61 runs from 29 balls at a strike rate of 210 and stayed till the end to ensure the win for his side.
