Following an outstanding Indian Premier League (IPL) season last year, Punjab Kings’ dynamic batter Shashank Singh is set to wear the red jersey again and showcase his talent. Known for his remarkable match-winning performances, the batting all-rounder garnered significant attention, ranking ninth among the most searched athletes on Google globally in 2024. Shashank captured everyone’s attention when he scored an unbeaten 61 runs off just 29 balls against the Gujarat Titans, leading his team to victory.
Speaking about the same, Shashank said, “I did not know that Google releases a list of people who are searched across the world. It’s a big thing, honestly. I prefer celebrating in solace. But deep inside, it feels good that people across India and the world are searching for my name and knowing what I do.”
He credited his time with Punjab for the same. “It has been possible because of the Punjab Kings. There are so many cricketers who are talented and playing at the top level but the Punjab Kings have always shown trust in me and have backed me. It’s true that I worked hard as well.”

Shashank, who has been retained by the franchise for this season, is eagerly anticipating reuniting with his DY Patil T20 Cup teammates Shreyas Iyer and Suryansh Shedge at Punjab Kings. He has expressed his excitement about sharing the dressing room with them once again.
“I am excited to meet Shreyas because I have played cricket with him at the junior level. We played together in the DY Patil T20 Cup and we share a good bond. I am very excited to play under his captaincy this season. I am also excited to reunite with Suryansh, who is also from the same DY Patil team. He is a very bright prospect for both Punjab Kings and the country,” said Shashank.
