Former kolkata knight riders ipl

Former Kolkata Knight Riders IPL: Punjab Kings' (PBKS) batter Shashank Singh, who has been retained by the franchise ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, has expressed his excitement to share the dressing room with Australia's premier allrounders Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell in the league next year.

Shashank had an impressive outing with Punjab Kings in IPL 2024, scoring 354 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 164.65 and having an average of 44.25, while establishing himself as one of the most reliable finishers in the competition alongside Ashutosh Sharma, who was sold to the Delhi Capitals for 3.80 crore in the mega auction.

"It's a huge opportunity for me; both of them are among the best all-rounders in the world, especially in white-ball cricket. Stoinis is a medium-pace all-rounder and bats lower down the order, which is quite similar to what I do. Then there's Maxwell—everyone knows he is a match-winner for Australia," Shashank told IANS.
