🏏IPL 2024: Match 69 - SRH vs PBKS at Hyderabad @ 3:30PM IST🏏 - Page 4

Shashank Singh: This is my fifth year in the IPL, first three years didn't get many chances but I learnt a lot. By god's grace I have justified my talent a bit this year. Better things waiting for me in the future, but let's focus on the present, focus on today's match. I have enjoyed whatever cricket I have played till now, doing decently well, when the team wins and I perform, it makes me happier. Management has given me that freedom from match 1. I got out for a duck in the first match but they have given me the freedom, have asked me to play freely and express myself. Credit goes to the team management. I play for Chattisgarh, my home state at number 4 or 5, enjoying my role, lot to learn. I'll make sure that I come with a better mindset next season and make sure I finish the game. It's a good wicket, good crowd, hopefully we finish off on a high.

What's at stake for PBKS? They did show glimpses of brilliance and came close to seizing key moments, but unfortunately a spate of injuries and inconsistency with the bat cost them dear.

We're just ten minutes away from the toss. Until then, you can let us know what you think didn't work out PBKS this season. Injuries? Out-of-form Jitesh? Or something else?

Jim: "Manifesting Glenn Phillips finally getting a game" --- But I doubt SRH would experiment, given they are after a top-two spot, and must win today for whatever is in their hands

Thanks for the tag 🙂

Aditya: "I think Punjab missed Dhawan mostly who is a 400-run bank almost every season. Also, YJB came very late to the party. More often than not it was Shashank" --- But those 400 runs often don't come at the pace you'd usually like

Bill: "I'll get the ball rolling. Punjab's top order let them down big time for the most part" --- Yup, so far their top three has got the least runs among all sides this season, and hence also have the lowest average
