PBKS change Shashank Singh stance after IPL 2024 auction blunder

Punjab Kings (PBKS) bagged the wrong Shashank Singh for his base price of Rs 20 lakh at the IPL 2024 auction on Tuesday

A day after Punjab Kings (PBKS) bagged the wrong Shashank Singh at IPL 2024 auction, the side issued a statement over the debacle, offering clarity on the issue. The Preity Zinta-owned side mistook the youngster for another Shashank Singh and ended up picking him for his base price of Rs 20 lakh.

PBKS issue statement on Shashank Singh blunder

Issuing a statement on social media, Punjab Kings clarified that Shashank Singh was already on their target list and that a confusion occurred as two players shared the same name. Welcoming the 19-year-old on board, PBKS wished him luck in contributing to the success of the side.

PBKS’ Shashank problem

The bidding process began with Singh entering at a base price of 20 lakh, and Punjab Kings, eager to strengthen their squad, swiftly raised their paddles.

However, what seemed like a routine bidding scenario took an unexpected twist. The auctioneer Mallika Sagar declared that Shashank Singh was now part of Punjab Kings, but a moment of confusion clouded the air. It became apparent that Kings might not have intended to secure the services of this particular player. Despite the apparent mix-up, the hammer had fallen, sealing Shashank Singh’s fate as a Punjab Kings player for the upcoming IPL season.
