Disappointment in Punjab camp

The hero of Punjab, from which the team was looking forward

In the final 4 balls in the final 4 balls in the IPL 2025, there was no batsman and a batsman, but a stormy batting Shashank Singh. Before the final over started, the camp of Punjab from which he was expecting was Shashank Singh. Shashank Singh performed incredible batting in the match, especially in the last over. When Punjab Kings needed 29 runs to win, he scored 22 runs off the last four balls of the last over, including three sixes. Perhaps Shashank Singh would be cursing himself that if a big hit had come on the first two balls of the over, then the result could have come in the favor of Punjab.

If one or two balls were more …

In the form in which Shashank was seen, if one or two balls were found, he could definitely change the attitude of the match and give Punjab victory. He scored an unbeaten 61 runs in that match, including 6 sixes. Shashank Singh’s mouth hanged after the match was over. He returned disappointed. Captain Shreyas Iyer, who was standing near the boundary, was praising the innings of his partner Shashank Singh, but Shashank knew how close to picking up the trophy, Punjab got disappointment. Perhaps Shashank Singh must have been cursing himself for this.
