Ahmedabad: In a captivating encounter at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday, Punjab Kings made a remarkable comeback at the last moment to secure a thrilling three-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in the 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

The nail-biting clash witnessed a dramatic turn of events as Punjab Kings, led by an outstanding performance from Shashank Singh, overcame a challenging target set by the hosts Gujarat Titans.

Facing an uphill battle after the early departure of key batsmen, Shashank Singh rose to the occasion, delivering a stellar performance under pressure. The dynamic cricketer showcased nerves of steel as he smashed an impressive 61 runs, steering Punjab Kings back into contention.

Supported by Ashutosh Sharma’s impactful contribution, Shashank Singh played a pivotal role in orchestrating Punjab Kings’ sensational comeback, ultimately securing victory in the last-over thriller.

However, Punjab Kings displayed remarkable resilience and determination, with Shashank Singh’s heroic unbeaten innings and Ashutosh Sharma’s late cameo guiding them to a memorable triumph.
