The IPL 2024 is in a great phase. Fans across the globe are enjoying the thrill of the tournament. On April 4, Gujarat Titans locked horns with Punjab Kings. The match was extremely thrilling. Shashank Singh’s outstanding unbeaten innings sealed the victory. After that, Preity Zinta lauds him and the batter’s reply to her caught attention.
Shashank’s innings and Preity Zinta’s Praise:
While batting first, Gujarat Titans set a target of 200 in front of the opponent. While chasing the target, PBKS lost the first few wickets. But at a very crucial point, Shashank Singh held the innings, he played an outstanding unbeaten knock of 61 runs in 29 balls with a strike rate of 210.34. He smashed 6 boundaries and 4 over-boundaries. That exceptional innings sealed the win.
After this excellent knock, Punjab Kings owner Preity Zinta lauded the star player. She said, “Today seems like the perfect day to finally talk about things that were said in the past about us at the auction. A lot of people in similar situations would have lost confidence, buckled under pressure or become de-motivated ……. but not Shashank! He is not like a lot of people. He is truly special. Not just because of his skill as a player but because of his positive attitude & incredible spirit. He took all the comments, jokes and brick bats so sportingly & never became a victim. He backed himself and showed us what he is made of, and for that I applaud him.”
Later she added, “He has my admiration & my respect. I hope he can be an example to all of you when life takes a different turn & does not play according to script, for it’s not what people think of you that matters, but what You think of Yourself! So never stop believing in yourself like Shashank & I’m sure you will be the Man of the match in the game of life.”
Shashank’s Reply:
After that heartwarming post by the Bollywood actress, Punjab Kings’ batters gave a reply to her. On his social media handle, Shashank wrote, “Thank you Preity Mam for always supporting and Motivating me, couldn’t ask for anything more!” The reply has gone viral.
