Shashank Singh, selected by Punjab Kings in the IPL 2024 auction, rushed to the team when the situation required it and led the team against the Gujarat Titans on Thursday ( A memorable victory over the Gujarat Titans. In the match against Gujarat Titans, Shashank Singh scored 200 runs for the team after their top spot in PBKS was shaken. He reached the 50-run mark in just 25 balls and remained unbeaten until the end, helping his team advance.

However, Shashank Singh’s auction selection has sparked a lot of controversy. Kings XI Punjab co-owners Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia looked confused after winning the bid for uncapped Indian player Shashank Singh in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) auction. It looked like the IPL team was not planning to buy the player, but the gavel has fallen. IPL 2024 auctioneer Mallika Sagar also looked a little surprised when she saw the PBKS management going through the player auction list. However, PBKS decided to go ahead with the purchase and even welcomed Shashank Singh to their team via a post on X.

Now Preity ZInta has opened up about the controversy.

“Today seemed like the perfect day to finally talk about the things that used to talk about us at auctions. A lot of people in similar situations would lose confidence, give in under pressure or become unmotivated…but not Shashank!” Preity Zinta wrote a post on her social media account.

“He’s different to a lot of people. He’s really special. Not just because of his skills as a player, but because of his positive attitude and incredible spirit. He takes all the comments, the jokes so positively And Brick Bat, never became a victim.
