A Star in Making 'Shashank Singh' Decodes his Way of Success in the IPL

Shashank Singh of PBKS has figured out the key to the relatively unknown talent's success in the IPL 2024, stating that it all comes down to self-belief for the local or domestic players. Many previously unknown players have emerged as stars for their teams during this tournament season. Among them has been Shashank, who is followed by players like Ashutosh Sharma, KKR's Angkrish Raghuvanshi, and the youngster Nitish Kumar Reddy from SRH.

Uncapped players are rising in IPL 2024

On April 9, during SRH's match against PBKS, Nitish was named Player of the Match. Ashutosh and Shashank came dangerously close to winning the match while chasing. During the post-match press conference, the PBKS batter stated that the young players' success in the IPL is primarily because they are carrying over their confidence from their domestic successes.

Shashank believes that the undiscovered talent has excelled this time around since cricket is a game of self-belief.

The only thing is the self-belief. Like the way we played in domestic cricket. Like you see Nitish here. He scored usually and took wickets in white-ball and red-ball both.

Ashutosh, you see that he did very well in the Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare trophy. But the others who are coming in, like Angkrish from KKR.

So the players who are coming in, yes may be unknown here, but they are known players in the domestic circuit. We play domestically and they are doing very well. So it is the reward for that. Whatever you do domestically, you continue doing the same here.

That performance brings you here. Cricket is a game of self-belief. I think at this level, whatever you perform, you bring confidence and self-belief here and then you do well here. Obviously, luck is a part, but then that self-relief confidence is always there.

After such a good chase, Punjab lost

Yesterday's chase saw Shashank deliver yet another outstanding batting display, coming dangerously close to another victory for his team. Shashank scored 46 off 25 balls with Punjab needing 29 runs off the final over to win, but in the end, it was in vain as SRH won by 2 runs.
