Sun May 18 11:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Shashank Singh’s Audacious Ramp Shot Sparks Punjab Kings’ Fireworks in Jaipur
**Jaipur, India – 18 May 2025, 18:44 IST (Updated)** – Shashank Singh delivered a masterclass in improvisation and power-hitting tonight, showcasing a stunning ramp shot against Akash Madhwal in the crucial 19th over of the IPL clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
With PBKS looking to maximize their score, Singh, facing a typically wide delivery from Madhwal, premeditated his move, shifting across his crease and executing a perfectly timed ramp shot that sailed over the fine leg fielder for a boundary. The audacious stroke left commentators impressed and the PBKS dugout ecstatic.
Singh’s contribution proved vital for Punjab Kings. Coming in at a precarious 101/4 after the loss of captain Shreyas Iyer, he initially played a measured innings, allowing Nehal Wadhera to express himself. However, once settled, Singh unleashed his power, providing the late impetus needed for a competitive total.
He remained unbeaten on a blistering 59 off just 30 balls, smashing five fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 196.66. His knock steered PBKS to a formidable 219/5, marking his fourth half-century in the IPL.
While Rajasthan Royals are left to rue Madhwal’s inability to contain the in-form Singh, Punjab Kings will be hoping this match-defining innings propels them to victory. The knock is being hailed as one of the best of Shashank Singh’s IPL career, showcasing his ability to adapt and deliver under pressure.
