"When I bat, I feel I am the best in the world"- PBKS batter Shashank Singh after powering his side to victory against GT in IPL 2024

Punjab Kings middle-order batter Shashank Singh won the Player of the Match award against Gujarat Titans following his match-winning 61-run knock.

At the post-match presentation, he reflected on his performance, saying:

"It is still sinking in, you visualize things before and it feels unreal. I play cricketing shots and the coach told me to react to the ball and play accordingly. The wicket was really good, it was a mixed soil wicket and both teams scoring 200 shows the character of the game.

On facing Rashid and company during the tough chase, Shashank added:

"They are legends of the game but when I bat, I feel I am the best in the world. I react to the ball and not to the bowlers. The coaches and the management backed me. I played at SRH a couple of years ago and it was a pretty good experience as well."

PBKS will next face SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on Tuesday, April 9.
