Shashank Singh had a telling impact on SunRisers Hyderabad’s innings against Gujarat Titans in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 game at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday. SRH had been reduced to 161/5 in 18 overs when Singh ran away to take the bat. He played his first IPL innings and Singh showed no nerve as he scored 25 from just six balls. His innings included one four and three sixes, all of which were hit in the last over against GT fast bowler Lockie Ferguson.
Singh’s attack caused SRH to reach a total of over 190 against GT. This is a video of the three sixes Singh hit against Ferguson.

The effort was praised by all, including former Indian players. “The great thing about @IPL is we get to know young players who come in and perform brilliantly. It’s commendable how Shashank performed and took Lockie Ferguson for a coin toss in the last over along with Marco Jansen!” Former Indian cricket team player Harbhajan Singh wrote on social media.
