Shashank Singh’s Iconic SRK Pose: In a remarkable display of power-hitting, Shashank Singh emerged as the unsung hero for Punjab Kings in their historic chase against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens. While Jonny Bairstow stole the limelight with a magnificent century, Shashank’s thunderous unbeaten knock of 68 off just 28 balls played a pivotal role in Punjab’s sensational victory.
With eight sixes to his name, Shashank’s aggressive innings left KKR bewildered as Punjab scripted the highest-ever successful chase in T20 history. His blitzkrieg fifty, which included eight sixes and two boundaries, culminated with the winning shot off Ramandeep Singh, sealing the match with eight wickets and eight balls to spare.
In a celebratory gesture captured by Punjab Kings’ official social media handle, Shashank struck the iconic Shah Rukh Khan pose amidst the backdrop of ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s’ music, expressing gratitude to the Eden Gardens crowd. The caption “Sssshhhh…. Shaaaaashaaaaa… Shashankkkkkk!” encapsulated the euphoria surrounding Shashank’s phenomenal performance and Punjab’s historic triumph.
