Shashank Singh, a promising all-rounder, is looking to make his mark for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2024. This right-handed batsman and right-arm off-spin bowler from Chhattisgarh has been on the fringes of the IPL scene for a while. Initially featuring for the Delhi Capitals (2017) and Rajasthan Royals (2018), he didn't get many opportunities.

However, his consistent performances in domestic cricket, particularly his handy all-around abilities, caught the eye of the Punjab Kings. They secured his services for a relatively low price of ₹20 Lakh at the IPL 2024 auction.

There was a brief moment of confusion during the auction when the Punjab Kings co-owners seemed surprised after winning the bid for Shashank Singh. Reports suggested they might have been mistaken for another player with the same name. However, the franchise later clarified the situation, expressing their delight at having Shashank Singh on board.

With the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, and Kagiso Rabada in the Punjab Kings lineup, Shashank Singh might not be a guaranteed starter in IPL 2024. But he'll be pushing for opportunities and looking to impress the team management with his all-round skills.

This IPL season could be a turning point for Shashank Singh. He'll be eager to learn from the experienced players in the Punjab Kings setup and grab any chances that come his way. He's a player to watch out for in the future.
