And there can be another reason for introducing Shashank because he has dismissed Abhishek once before. He got him out again today [Saturday]. Abhishek and Head were batting really well, and we got back into the match only after those two wickets,\u201d Prabhsimran said during the post-match press conference at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>The wicket-keeper, too, played a major part in the victory (51, 25b). It was his blistering 99-run stand with opener Priyansh Arya (57, 20b) that broke the back of the 220-run chase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPriyansh and I are batting well as a pair. We have chased well all these games, and we\u2019ll try to continue this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the mindset required before setting out to chase such a tall target, Prabhsimran elaborated: \u201cWhen you are going for a big chase, you have to cash in on the PowerPlay. At one point, it looked like we would have to chase 250, but our bowlers made a really good comeback. The clarity given to us by the captain and the coach also helped us a lot\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Apr 11, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/ipl\/shashank-singh-bowling-punjab-kings-vs-sunrisers-hyderabad-shreyas-iyer-captaincy\/article70851666.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before Saturday, Shashank Singh\u2019s only IPL victim was Abhishek Sharma (2024).
