One of these names was that of Shashank Singh. Punjab bought him for Rs 20 lakh in IPL 2024. This time Shashank impressed everyone with his performance. He has played many memorable innings for Punjab. For this reason, Punjab has retained him this time for Rs 5.5 crore. At the same time, now he has expressed his desire to become the captain of Punjab.

He further told that he has captained the DY Patil T20 tournament for 5 years. Players like Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik have also played under his captaincy.
parents were worried
During this interview, he told that his parents were very worried about his retention this time because no one had bid on him last time also. But when he got the news of being retained, he heaved a sigh of relief. During this he said that being retained is very important. He further said that it is necessary to retain before the mega auction. I have seen many players who made a lot of money in one auction, but disappeared the next year.
