Shashank Singh tried to score consecutive boundaries but fell prey to Mitchell Santner in PBKS vs CSK IPL 2024 match.

In-form Punjab Kings (PBKS) batter Shashank Singh failed to deliver against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Sunday (May 5). The youngster departed for 27 runs off 20 balls with the help of four boundaries.

Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner broke the 53-run partnership between Shashank and Prabhsimran Singh.

The dismissal came in the eighth over of the PBKS run chase. After being hit for a boundary off the previous ball, Santner pulled the length back as Shashank went for a big shot down the ground. The ball dipped and pitched away as the right-hander miscued it off the inside half and holed out to Simarjit Singh at long-on.
