Punjab Kings have consistently performed well in the IPL 2026 season, due to which the team remains at the first position. Especially Punjab's batting is so strong that many players did not get many chances. But for the first time this season, when the team's batting faltered badly, a player who was not getting many chances took advantage of it. This player is all-rounder Suryansh Shedge, who scored a stormy half-century in the match against Gujarat Titans.
In this match against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, Punjab Kings batted first.
So far in this season, the top order of the team has consistently given explosive starts by destroying the bowlers. It had become difficult to stop this team in the powerplay but Gujarat's fast bowlers changed the script this time and half the team had returned to the pavilion on just 47 runs.This was the time when the team needed a savior and Suryansh Shedge did this job. Before this match, Shedge had got a chance only once in the current season, in which he had scored 3 unbeaten runs in 2 balls. But this time Shedge's batting came early and he showed his ability to the team at such a time.
Shedge hit a six in the 13th over, which was Punjab's first sixer of this innings. After this, a storm of shade came in the very next over.Marcus Stoinis took a run on the first ball of spinner Manav Suthar, who came in the 14th over, and Shedge came on strike. He hit 6,6,4,4,6 on the next five balls. In this way, on the strength of Suryansh Shedge, Punjab looted 27 runs from the over. Shedge scored his first half-century in just 23 balls by taking 1 run in the very next over. The special thing is that before this innings, till last season till now Suryansh had scored only 10 runs in 4 innings but this time in a single innings he scored 57 runs in 29 balls.
